history of science, Islamic science refers to the science developed under the
Islamic civilization between the 8th and 15th centuries, during what is known as the
Islamic Golden Age. It is also known as Arabic science due to most texts during this period being written in
Arabic, the
lingua franca of the Islamic civilization. Despite these names, not all scientists during this period were
Muslim or
Arab, as there were a number of notable non-Arab scientists, as well as some non-Muslim scientists, contributing to science in the Islamic civilization.
