History
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Mathematics during the Golden Age of Islam, especially during the 9th and 10th centuries, was built on Greek mathematics (Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius) and Indian mathematics (Aryabhata, Brahmagupta). Important progress was made, such as the full development of the decimal place-value system to include decimal fractions, the first systematised study of algebra (named for The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing by scholar Al-Khwarizmi), and advances in geometry and trigonometry.[1]

Arabic works also played an important role in the transmission of mathematics to Europe during the 10th to 12th centuries.[2]

Dr. Sally P. Ragep, an historian of science in Islam, estimates that "tens of thousands" of Arabic manuscripts in mathematical sciences and philosophy remain unread, which give studies which "reflect individual biases and a limited focus on a relatively few texts and scholars"[

Hope this helps! :)

In which respect is a secondary source more helpful than a primary source
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

A secondary source summarizes large amounts of evidence.

Explanation:

Primary sources correspond to “primary literature” and are those that present themselves and are disseminated exactly as they are produced by their authors.  Primary sources are original materials on which other research is based.  This type of source presents the information in its original form, without interpretation, summarization or evaluation by other writers.

On the other hand, secondary sources are interpretations and evaluations of primary sources for this reason present a series of evidences that support their interpretations. In this sense, secondary sources may be more useful than a primary source.

Was the United States successful in early containment of communism?
Zina [86]

Answer:

Yes, it was. In fact, the containment policy prevented communism from expanding from Eastern Europe to other nations in Western Europe, Southern Asia or the Americas.

Explanation:

Containment was the foreign policy strategy adopted by the United States after World War II, aimed at stopping the extension of the Soviet zone of influence beyond its limits reached in March 1947 and at countering the states likely to adopt communism.

Mostly, support to foreign states was through financial aid, notably with the Marshall Plan, but also military with the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Containment was an important part of the Truman Doctrine, which aimed to actively intervene in support of foreign political regimes in order to fight communism.
