These scholars studied two similar yet different forms of mathematics from India and Greek. One great Muslim mathematician was named al-Khwarizmi and his studies then encouraged algebra. Later on in the 800"s Khwarizmi wrote a book of his studies and was then translated into Latin and became a basic mathematic textbook in Europe. Astronomy was another major for the Muslim scholars, al-Khwarizmi developed a astronomical table which was set on a basis of Indian and Greek discoveries. In Baghdad all the way to Central Asia they studied the rotation of the earth and the solar eclipses. These studies were very important during this time and also helped Christopher Columbus navigate his ships.

             Muslims increased knowledge of medical treatments and public health. Most of these studies and ideas were based upon the Greek ideas. Hospitals and physicians even pharmacists began to be set up all over in the Muslim world. Emergency rooms were set up that are even most like today"s rooms where if you need quick attention because of an injury or an illness you were brought there. Most physicians at this time traveled to you when you were in need of assistance. These same physicians were even set to jails to examine the people who were under arrest.

             The Muslim society was very flexible in the terms of social mobility through religious, education and or military achievements. Most like parts of Europe such as Rome and Greece the Muslim society did contain slaves, which were brought from conquered parts of Spain, Greece, Africa, India and even parts of Central Asia. A Muslim was not able to become a slave. When a non-Muslim converted religion they were not granted freedom but their children were and also if a slave women married her owner she was then granted freedom. Slaves were used as housekeepers, skilled artisans and soldiers in war who were loyal and willing to battle. If a slave-soldier was in war they would want to make a great achievement because their freedom can be won over from a military achievement.
