| 25 | The TRUE FATHER OF Mechanical Engineering | Al-Jazari | ..he described 100 mechanical devices, some 80 of which are trick vessels of various kinds, along with instructions on how to construct them . He invented hydropowered water raising machines, CrankShaft, Segmental Gears, Chain Pumps, Suction pump, Suction pipes, double action pumps, water supply system to be driven by gears and hydropower and Elephant Clocks.Al-Jazari invented five machines for raising water,[24] as well as watermills and water wheels with cams on their axle used to operate automata. HE IS ALSO THE FATHER OF ROBOTICS. TRUTH ABOUT DAVINCI- Do you know? It is said that Davinci was inspired by Al-Jazari inventions. But the truth is he was a painter. He suddenly disappeared for few years and after he came back started drawing mechanical equipments(Source- History cannel : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9xWflIw0g4) .

Sperical Trigonometry
|
Al-Jayyani (989–1079) of al-Andalus wrote The book of unknown arcs of a sphere, which is considered "the first treatise on spherical trigonometry" in its modern form.[33] It "contains formulae for right-handed triangles, the general law of sines, and the solution of a spherical triangle by means of the polar triangle." This treatise later had a "strong influence on European mathematics", and his "definition of ratios as numbers" and "method of solving a spherical triangle when all sides are unknown" are likely to have influenced Regiomontanus.[33] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_trigonometry] | ||||
| Trigonometry - Other Advancement: | The method
of triangulation was first developed by Muslim mathematicians, who applied it
to practical uses such as surveying[34] and Islamic geography, as described
by Abu Rayhan Biruni in the early 11th century. Biruni himself introduced
triangulation techniques to measure the size of the Earth and the distances
between various places.[35] In the late 11th century, Omar Khayyám
(1048–1131) solved cubic equations using approximate numerical solutions
found by interpolation in trigonometric tables. In the 13th century, Nasīr
al-Dīn al-Tūsī was the first to treat trigonometry as a mathematical
discipline independent from astronomy, and he developed spherical
trigonometry into its present form.[29] He listed the six distinct cases of a
right-angled triangle in spherical trigonometry, and in his On the Sector
Figure, he stated the law of sines for plane and spherical triangles,
discovered the law of tangents for spherical triangles, and provided proofs
for both these laws.[36] In the 15th century, Jamshīd al-Kāshī provided the first explicit statement of the law of cosines in a form suitable for triangulation.[citation needed] In France, the law of cosines is still referred to as the theorem of Al-Kashi. He also gave trigonometric tables of values of the sine function to four sexagesimal digits (equivalent to 8 decimal places) for each 1° of argument with differences to be added for each 1/60 of 1°.[citation needed] Ulugh Beg also gives accurate tables of sines and tangents correct to 8 decimal places around the same time.[citation needed] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_trigonometry] |
