He was particularly known for his contributions to the fields of Aristotelian philosophy and medicine . 

He compiled Kitab al-shifa (The Book of Healing), an extensive philosophical and scientific encyclopedia, and Al-Qanun fi at-tibb (The Canon of Medical Science), which is one of the most famous books of the history of medicine.

Influence in Philosophy and science

.Avicenna's influence on the great medical schools of Europe extended to the early Modern period. There is the Canon of Medicine (Al-Qanun fi at-tibb) became an outstanding source.

Latin translations of his works led to the perception of Aristotle in the 13th century within the framework of Western scholasticism , especially in the works of Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas .

MUHAMMAD IBN MUSA AL-KHWARIZMI

Perhaps his most important contribution to mathematics was his strong advocacy of the Hindu numerical system, which Al-Khwarizmi recognized as having the power and efficiency needed to revolutionize Islamic and Western mathematics. The Hindu numerals 1 – 9 and 0 – which have since become known as Hindu-Arabic numerals – were soon adopted by the entire Islamic world. Later, with translations of Al-Khwarizmi’s work into Latin by Adelard of Bath and others in the 12th Century, and with the influence of Fibonacci’s “Liber Abaci” they would be adopted throughout Europe as well.

He also researched the composition of petroleum and made a contribution to the foundation of the firs Russian oil refinery.

Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, and author who is widely recognised as one of the greatest mathematicians.

He figured out why objects fall to the ground and why planets orbit the Sun, Isaac Newton showed that white light is actually made up of a range of colors and used a prism to show this.

His main credits include formulating the laws of gravitation and motion.

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics

He developed the theory of relativity and helped develop the use of atomic energy on the earth.

Thomas Edison

Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor and businessman who has been described as America's greatest inventor. He developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and motion pictures."

At age 12 Edison lost “almost all his hearing.”

He invented the electric bulb, duplicating machine, motion pictures and the phonograph

"I have not FAILED, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work“ Thomas Edison.
