SAT Writing & Language Section Passage
SAT Writing Passage Title: Science in the Medieval Islamic World
The history of science as it is taught to most Western students 1 are tragically incomplete. In many schools, teachers promote the myth that little scientific progress occurred between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe. It is true that European scholars made little progress 2 in the natural sciences during the Middle Ages. Scholars in the Islamic world made numerous significant scientific discoveries. These discoveries laid the groundwork for future breakthroughs and made Europe’s later Scientific Revolution possible.
Many important mathematical concepts were developed by Muslim thinkers. The Persian mathematician 3 al-Khwarizmi—who worked in the 9th century CE, developed new methods for solving linear and quadratic equations. In fact, his name gave rise to the word “algorithm,” a term used in modern mathematics and computer science to refer to a step-by-step method of 4 calculation and the term “algebra,” from the Arabic “al-jabr,” also comes from his work. He also popularized the Hindu-Arabic numerals that have become the most common way of writing numbers around the world today.
[1] Muslim scientists also made important advances in the theory and practice of medicine. [2] For instance, the Persian doctor al-Razi revolutionized how doctors diagnosed disease. [3] In addition to this work on diagnosis, he pioneered techniques to test the effectiveness of treatments. [4] In the 9th century CE, he wrote a comparison of smallpox and measles in an early form of the modern technique of differential diagnosis. [5] Centuries before European doctors adopted the technique, al-Razi conducted a clinical trial to study 5 how effective the practice of bloodletting was as a treatment for meningitis. 6
7 Throughout the medieval era, the dominant view among astronomers was the geocentric Ptolemaic model. This view held that the Earth was the center of the solar system and that the planets, Sun, and stars orbited around it.
Astronomers working at the Maragha observatory in Persia, noting inconsistencies between this 8 models predictions and actual observations, developed new equations in the 13th century CE to resolve the conflict. Though they only updated the Ptolemaic theory, several centuries later their mathematical innovations inspired Nicolaus Copernicus. 9 elaborated on Copernicus ultimately proposed a heliocentric model of the solar system, with the Earth and other planets orbiting the Sun, which would revolutionize astronomy.
TIn all, thinkers in the Islamic world made enormous contributions to the development of science. Had they not preserved ancient knowledge and 10 elaborated on, it with their own findings, scientific and technological development might be centuries behind where it is today. 11 the accomplishments of medieval Muslim scientists should be better known around the world. More effort should be made to inform students about these pioneers of science.
