Science and Islam: Physicist Jim Al-Khalili travels through Syria Iran Tunisia and Spain to tell the story of the great leap in scientific knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries.Its legacy is tangible with terms like algebra algorithm and alkali all being Arabic in origin and at the very heart of modern science - there would be no modern mathematics or physics without algebra no computers without algorithms and no chemistry without alkalis.For Baghdad-born Al-Khalili this is also a personal journey and on his travels he uncovers a diverse and outward-looking culture fascinated by learning and obsessed with science. From the great mathematician Al-Khwarizmi who did much to establish the mathematical tradition we now know as algebra to Ibn Sina a pioneer of early medicine whose Canon of Medicine was still in use as recently as the 19th century he pieces together a remarkable story of the often-overlooked achievements of the early medieval Islamic scientists.
