	Khayyam biography
		Khayyam also wrote that he hoped to give a full description of the solution of cubic equations in a later work [Scripta Math.
		Indeed, as Khayyam writes, the contributions by earlier writers such as al-Mahani and al-Khazin were to translate geometric problems into algebraic equations (something which was essentially impossible before the work of al-Khwarizmi).
		The importance of Khayyam's contribution is that he examined both Euclid's definition of equality of ratios (which was that first proposed by Eudoxus) and the definition of equality of ratios as proposed by earlier Islamic mathematicians such as al-Mahani which was based on

		The name Saki is often thought to be a reference to the cupbearer in the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam, a poem mentioned disparagingly by the eponymous character in "Reginald on Christmas Presents" (see quote below).
		It may, however, be a reference to the South American primate of the same name, "a small, long-tailed monkey from the Western Hemisphere" that is a central character in "The Remoulding of Groby Lington" and that, like Munro himself, hid a vicious streak beneath a gentle exterior.
		Munro was sheltering in a shell crater when he was killed by a German sniper.

		The Samarqand observatory was the greatest of the Islamic observatories and produced new measurements of exceptional quality that alas proved to have little consequence on the development of astronomy---but one must keep trying.
		There are many names of Medieval astronomers, but for example two which are moderately well known---for reasons other than astronomy---are the Persian Omar Khayyam (1048--1131) and Englishman Geoffrey Chaucer (1343?--1400).
		Omar Khayyam was a considerable mathematician and astronomer.

		The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam An Iranian American boy in Houston inherits his dying brother's responsibility as keeper of the storyteller's legends, beginning an obsession with Omar Khayyam that sends him mentally, and later physically, Eastward even as his engineer father single-mindedly points the family toward a solely American future.
		Meanwhile, back in 11th-century Persia, young Khayyam pursues his studies in astronomy under the patronage of a Seljuk shah, writing a little poetry on the side, and pining for the slave girl love-of-his-life, all amid a European invasion and a growing threat from a fanatical Islamic faction.

	Principal Facts of Biography by Donald Sidney-Fryer
		In July 1927, under her aegis, Smith visits the Donner-Pass-and-Summit region, in the Sierras, for the first time, as well as Crater Ridge nearby, the future scene of certain portions of the fantasies The City of the Singing Flame (finished January 15th, 1931) and Beyond the Singing Flame (finished June 30th, 1931).
		All these factors lead to Smith's writing fiction during 1929-1938; especially the one of economic necessity: the partial failure of a small income, a quarterly allowance from former U.S. Senator Phelan, makes it necessary for him to earn some sort of steady wages.
		Thus, the visit to Crater Ridge has a decisive influence on Smith's creative evolution into a fictionwriter.

		Islamic mystical poets, such as Omar Khayyam, also preserved a Dionysian spirit, as did the wine and hashish cults of Persia.
