Just as Renaissance science seemed to change quality ABRUPLY, so did certain parts of Renaissance mathematics, particularly in numerical algebra and number theory.

But, recently, some scholars found evidence that European mathematicians, particularly Italian ones, may have copied, and sometimes built upon, work of Islamic mathematicians working before the Renaissance. In fact, a few of Rebaissance writings actually credit such Islamic contributions, but mainstream mathematicians have chosen, up until now, to ignore this.

Correct history is always important. Due credit should always be given. And, if I were of Islamic or Jewish heritage, I'd certainly wish to CORRECT DISORTIONS OF THE RECORD or OMISSIONS IN IT. How about you?
