"At the end of this rapid overview, it is the continuity of this development of mathematics that strikes us: from one shore of the Mediterranean to the other, from the 3rd century B.C.E. to the 7th century C.E., from the Greeks to the Europeans by way of the Arabs, it is truly the same rationality we see at work, transcending ages, borders and languages."Hélène BellostaThe French Institute of Arabic Studies in Damascus
