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"[

Feliz [49]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not attach any text or specific reference, so we are going to answer is the following general terms.

One way in which commercial extraction of raw materials in Egypt was different from the commercial extraction of raw materials in the Amazon in the period 1750-1900, was the following.

The commercial extraction of raw materials in Egypt was basically the product of the British colonization efforts in that part of North Africa. Great Britain had several colonies in Africa, one of them being Egypt. More than colonizing the territory to help people to develop and grow, the reality was that the English monarchy just wanted to exploit those raw materials and natural resources. And exploit they did.

In the case of the Amazon forest, European nations such as Portugal did something similar but they instilled the concept of latifundium, wealthy people that owned the land and forced slaves to work, produce, and harvest the crops that were exported to be industrialized.
