Answer 5

Abu Ali al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Haytham, the eleventh-century Muslim scholar who developed the scientific method, was an Arab.

Born in Basra (located in what is now Iraq) in 965, Ibn al-Haytham wrote more than 200 books and treatises on a wide range of subjects. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding the branch mathematics known as analytic geometry.

Ibn al-Haytham created discreet, verifiable experiments to test the validity of ideas. To test his hypothesis that “lights and colors do not blend in the air,” for example, Ibn al-Haytham devised the world's first camera obscura, observed what happened when light rays intersected at its aperture, and recorded the results. This is just one of dozens of “true demonstrations,” or experiments, contained in Kitāb al-Manāzir (Book of Optics).

Kitāb al-Manāzir was translated into Latin as De aspectibus in the late thirteenth century in Spain. Copies of the book circulated throughout Europe. Roger Bacon wrote a summary of it entitled Perspectiva (Optics). All major European scientists—from Bacon and Witelo to Kepler and Newton—were familiar with his work. The Europeans did not fully grasp his mathematics until the seventeenth century. Many of his discoveries about light and vision remain true today. He is the father of modern science.
