註釋The quest in science and medicine in Iran ended with the invasion of Genghis Khan army and destruction of the Khwarizmi Empire in 1221 C.E. The pursuit for knowledge started during the eighth century when the Islamic empire expanded to all of Persia. Khwarizmi developed the Arabic numerals, based on the Hindu numeral system and Indian mathematics. The Western world adopted his numeral system. The term "algorithm" is the invention of Khwarizmi. Algorithm defines the steps for calculation for the solution of a problem. Razi was born in the city of Rye in Iran in the year 854 C.E. He went to Baghdad and studied medicine and invented the science of chemistry that resulted in the invention of Alkohol. Razi became a well-known physician and chemist who invented Alkohal. Abu Rayhan Bironi was born in 973 C.E in the Khwarazm region of Khorasan during Samanid empire. The Samanid resurrected the Persian language and made it the official court language in Iran. Rudekhy is the first Persian poet during this era. Samanid established centers of learning in Bukhara, Samarkand, and Nishapour. Ibn Sina was born 980 C.E and was educated in Bukhara. He is known as a prince of modern medicine. Also during the Ghaznavid rule, Ferdowsi wrote his masterpiece," The Book of Kings." The zenith of the golden age of Iranian contribution to knowledge was during Seljuk Empire (1037-1194) with Khayyam, mathematician, and astronomer who designed the Persian Solar calendar. After devastation by Genghis Khan, the age of science and medicine ended in Iran.
