why would the works of medieval islamic scholars take anything away from enlightenment philosophers and 20th century theoretical physicists?
btw, einstein probably wouldn't have gotten very far without algebra...just sayin'
Yes, algebra was probably developed in lands occupied by Islam - but you are giving that one achievement equal weight to everything that came before it and after it. If Western Civilization were a baseball team and contributions to math and science were the games - its season record would be along the lines of 155-7.
