Exchanges between mathematics, physics, linguistics, arts and music were a factor of creativity and progress in the mathematical, the physical and the social sciences. Goods and ideas travelled on a world-scale, mainly through the trade routes connecting East and Southern Asia with the Near East, allowing the transmission of Greek-Arabic medicine to Yuan Muslim China. The development of science, first centred in the Near East, would gradually move to the Western side of the Mediterranean, as a result of Europe’s appropriation of the Arab and Hellenistic heritage. Contributors are Paul Buell, Anas Ghrab, Hossein Masoumi Hamedani, Zeinab Karimian, Giovanna Lelli, Marouane ben Miled, Patricia Radelet-de Grave, and Roshdi Rashed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Giovanna Lelli    1 Science in Islam and Classical Modernity   Roshdi Rashed    2 Physics and Mathematical Sciences in the Islamic Period: A Conceptual Survey   Hossein Masaoumi Hamedani    3 Ibn al-Haytham: between Mathematics and Physics   Roshdi Rashed    4 La musique parmi les sciences dans les textes arabes médiévaux   Anas Ghrab    5 Traditional and Modern Science in an Age of Transition: ʿAlī Muḥammad Iṣfahānī and the Logarithm of Numbers   Zeinab Karimian    6 Formalism and Language in the Beginnings of Arabic Algebra   Marouane ben Miled    7 Art and Mathematics, Two Different Paths to the Same Truth   Patricia Radelet-de Grave    8 The Pre-history of the Principle of Relativity   Patricia Radelet-de Grave    9 Intersections between Social and Scientific Thought: The Notion of muṭābaqa in the Muqaddima of Ibn Khaldūn   Giovanna Lelli    10 Arabic Medicine in China: Content and Context   Paul D.
