Islamic Golden Age , Scientific Contributions, Knowledge Dissemination, Cultural ExchangeAbstract
The Islamic Golden Age (circa 800-1400 AD) represents a pivotal period in the history of science and innovation, marked by significant contributions across various disciplines, including mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. This study employs a mixed-methods approach to analyze the extensive production of scientific texts, the role of translations in knowledge dissemination, and the innovations that emerged during this era. Through a detailed examination of quantitative data and qualitative insights, the findings highlight the Islamic world's profound influence on the subsequent European Renaissance and the development of modern science. The results affirm that the Islamic Golden Age was not merely a time of preservation but a vibrant era of original thought and intercultural exchange, emphasizing the importance of recognizing diverse contributions to global knowledge systems.References
