Who copied whom??For example Muslims always refered the number system as Hind number system - never claimed that as their own. It is europe which stood on the shoulders of Muslims and now calling the very people as backward.
Here is the confession from europe-s top rated mathematical body
...Recent research paints a new picture of the debt that we owe to Arabic/Islamic mathematics. Certainly many of the ideas which were previously thought to have been brilliant new conceptions due to European mathematicians of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are now known to have been developed by Arabic/Islamic mathematicians around four centuries earlier. In many respects the mathematics studied today is far closer in style to that of the Arabic/Islamic contribution than to that of the Greeks...

In the Ancient Kingdom of Andalus there were many scientific developments taken place and reflects in the culture of spain the present churches in Cordoba former Mosques give how rich was there the moorish architecture was.Art was flourshing and it was the golden period of european Jews.

THIS IS ALSO FROM BALAORD'S ARTICLE:
The concept of zero reached medieval Europe through the Arab nations who had probably learned of it from ancient Hindu and Chinese cultures. Prior to this Europe struggled with a system of Roman numerals, in which large numbers would consist of huge strings of letters. Once zero was incorporated, numbers took on the more manageable decimal system that we use today.
THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THE VERY DECIMAL CONCEPT USED FOR SCIENCE WAS FROM HINDU FOUNDATIONS ... in fact, the works of early indian astronomers use the decimal system for counting ! Veddic Mathematics is itself based on decimal system and can be traced back to the earlies Upanishads

Who denies that the Number system we use is from India?But the ingenuity of the number system would have never seen the light of the world -had it not been for the intellectual inquest of Muslims. Again -Please talk about Baskara and Aryabhatta I have no objectsions But I wont accept these vedic mathematics as a great thing at all.
I make a living out of writing and thinking about mathematics.There may be intersting shutras but we have thousands of such thing in the domain of number theory.

I talk about Vedic Mths here as there are more people who would be aware of Vedic Maths than read the exact works of Baskaracharya/aryabhatta !
In fact, I remember reading the exact Chebychev's Inequality in an ancient translated Hindu work (i dont remember the book)
FYI, the chebychev inequalkity was not discovered before nineteenth century while solving attempting to solve Fermat's last Theorem .. This inequality has use even in the most advanced Schrodinger Wave Equations

HANUMAN BAJRANGI WHY YOU ARE COPYING OTHERS. YOU GOT INDEPENDENCE TILL NOW YOU CANNOT ABLE TO PRODUCE ONE NOBLE PRIZE IN SCIENCE INTEAD CREATED RECORD BY OVERPOPULATING AND BLAME MUSLIMS FOR MULTIPLYING FAST. BAJRANGI GET SOME NEW DATA FROM HINDUUNITY DATABANK THIS IS TOO OLD.

This is what is written in the articles quoted by balaord:
As Islamic civilisation spread further into southern Europe, vast treasuries of long-forgotten knowledge from conquered lands were taken back to cities like Baghdad, Damascus, Cairo and Cordoba where they were translated into Arabic.
This clearly shows that Islamic science was based upon and influenced/translated from earlier works
Let us not then give the credit to Islam alone ! THAT WOULD BE INTELLECTUAL APOSTASY

I know science from the shores of Ganga and from Greece all contributed to Modern science.But islam was the platform under which all races and their works got infused.Muslim scientists learnt from India especially Al-Biruni and Al-Kharizmi.No one denies that. The greatest science histornian George Sarton calls Islam was the bridge of civilizations - throwugh which knowldge flowed from east and west I never claimed Muslims started everything from scratch -I must be stupid if I say so. My claim of foundations of modern science has to be interpreted that way
