Ibn al-Haytham's Theory of Conics, Geometrical Constructions and Practical Geometry

Focusing on the historical and philosophical aspects of mathematics, this volume delves into the contributions of medieval Arab scholars, particularly in the fields of conics and geometry. It serves as a primary source, offering insights into the evolution of mathematical thought during this period. Complementing two earlier volumes, it highlights key figures and the development of 'infinitesimal mathematics' as articulated by Ibn al-Haytham, enriching the understanding of Arabic sciences and their impact on mathematics.
