Reuters: Medieval Muslims made stunning mathmatics breakthrough
In an article by Reuters based upon Science journal, the geometric patterns in medieval Islamic architecture shows Islamic mathematics supremacy 500 years earlier than Western scholars.
quoted from Reuters.com, "Medieval Islamic artisans developed a pattern-making process for designing ornate tiled surfaces that allowed them to produce sophisticated patterns not seen in the West until centuries later, a new study suggests. Many walls of medieval Islamic buildings have ornate geometric star-and-polygon, or “girih,” patterns, often overlaid with a zig-zagging network of lines. This undated picture shows an archway from the Darb-i Imam shrine, Isfahan, Iran ( built in 1453 ) with two overlapping girih patterns. REUTERS/handout/K. Dudley and M. Elliff."
