 La Vie En Rose: March 2005
Comtino gave one of the early examples of the use of positional decimal fractions in Europe, and Misrahi is known to have brought from Istanbul to Basel important summation formulas used somewhat later by such mathematicians as Bonaventura Cavalieri (1598-1647) in their work paving the way toward the emergence of the integral calculus.
Both Comtino and Misrahi were carriers of influence originating especially from the work of Ghiyâthuddin al Kâshi (or Kâshânî), one of Ulugh Beg's co-workers in the Samarqand Observatory.
It is not surprising therefore, to see that in the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries Europe was well informed and had kept abreast of developments in theoretical and practical astronomy that had been discovered in Eastern Islam.
