Reclaiming the Muslim Legacy in Technology: IT History and Future of Muslims
The modern world is being shaped by powerful technologies such as Computer Vision, the Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Science. These fields are transforming how societies function, how industries operate, and how humans interact with machines. However, there is an important historical reality that is often forgotten: the foundations of many modern technologies were built upon mathematics and scientific thinking developed by early Muslim scholars. One of the most influential figures in the history of mathematics is Muhammad ibn Musa al‑Khwarizmi . His pioneering work in Algebra laid the groundwork for computational thinking, algorithms, and modern programming. Today, mathematics remains the core language behind technologies such as Computer Vision , Internet of Things , Blockchain , and engineering disciplines. The Mathematical Roots of Modern Technology Modern programming, machine learning, data science, and engineering are deeply dependent on ...
