Important history
So he translated the work of Indian mathematicians and got all the credit? Sounds legit.
The Persians, Muslims, Arabs kept knowledge and science that would have been lost during the dark ages.
If it wasn't for their continued work in maths and sciences centuries would.have been lost / wasted.
Built off it, rather than copied it. That's par for the course in most science.
Good scientists copy, great scientists steal.
Just ask ~~Tesla~~ Edison!
Edison is known as a businessman, not as a scientist though.
True but then again that's the point: he stole some fame as a scientist. Or at least as an "inventor".
~~Great businessmen always steal, they don't have the ethics to do actual work~~
I mean Fibonacci did more or less the same thing to his work a few centuries later, so fair play I guess.
