Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin, a famous scientific historian who has recognized his studies worldwide, has signed numerous works on the subject of Islamic science history. He founded his intuitive work on the discovery and promotion of all aspects of the 800-year cycle of creativity in Islamic science. Unfortunately, one of the fields in which the Islamic science is the most skilled is mathematics. The works of Sezgin, along with its important findings in the field of Islamic mathematical history, are geometric tools available. Middle Ages Islamic mathematicians have not only translated the works of the Greek pioneers, but have also ended with their intense creative activities to change the environment of mathematics. Fuat Sezgin has summarized the work of Islamic mathematicians he believes to be the source of developments in the West, under the teaching of parallels, geometry and trigonometry titles. According to Sezgin, the contribution of Islamic mathematicians in the way from the famous parallel postulations of Öklid to the discovery of non-Öklid geometries and from the geometry of the gabbage to the analytical geometry has been greater than it was thought. European mathematicians have reached these new mathematical fields by often repeating or re-discovering the arguments used by Islamic mathematicians. Of course, the contribution of the scientific possibilities of the time they have lived in these developments is also great. The Western sources and the opinions of Sezgin are largely interconnected in these two topics. However, there is no agreement between the parties whether the straight-angle coordinate system belongs to Descartes or Omar Hayam. In the field of trigonometry, Western sources speak of the works of Tûsi but avoid attributing to Tûsi the title of "the founder of trigonometry". It seems that this approach is a product of the "Western subjective scientific understanding" that Sezgin continuously emphasizes. In addition, Fuat Sezgin’s release of Diophantus’ lost books on the face of Arabic nuts has changed the course of the studies on ancient Greek mathematics. In addition, the works on mathematical history are the main reference for Islamic mathematical history research.

Famous historian of science Prof. Dr. Fuat Sezgin whose work is accepted worldwide, has published numerous works on the history of Islamic science. Sezgin's works are based on the discovery and publicity of the 800-year long creativity period in Islamic science in all aspects. There is no doubt that mathematics is one of the most competent fields of medieval Islamic science. Besides the important findings of Sezgin in the field of Islamic mathematics, discovered Works and geometric instruments are also available. Medieval Islamic mathematicians not only translated the works of Greek predecessors, but also changed the face of mathematics by means of their intensive creative activities. Fuat Sezgin summarized the works of Islamic mathematicians whom he thought to be the source of the developments in the West under the titles of parallel doctrine, algebraic geometry and trigonometry. According to Sezgin, Islamic mathematicians contributed greatly to the path of the discovery of non-Euclidean geometries from Euclid's famous parallels postulate and to the achievement of analytical geometry from algebraic geometry. European mathematicians reached these new mathematical fields, often by repeating or rediscovering the arguments used by Islamic mathematicians. It is certain that, the scientific possibilities of the period they lived in contributed to these developments. Western sources and Sezgin's views largely coincide with each other on these two topics. However, there is no agreement as to whether the rectangular coordinate system belongs to Descartes or Omar Hayyam. In the field of trigonometry, Western sources refer to the work of Tûsî but refrain from attributing the title of “founder of trigonometry” to Tûsî. It seems that this approach is the product of “Western subjective understanding of science” that Sezgin constantly emphasizes. In addition to this, the fact that Fuat Sezgin revealed Arabic copies of Diophantus's lost books changed the course of studies on Ancient Greek mathematics. Also, his work on the history of mathematics is the main reference for Islamic mathematical research.
