Science in Iran
The Islamic Golden Age — a period that spanned
the 7th to the 13th centuries A.D. — saw a
flourishing of scholarship in the Umayyad and
Abbasid Caliphates
the Golden Age is now understood by scholars to
have laid the foundations of modern science
hundreds of years before the Scientific
Revolution that began in Europe in the 16th
century.
The Islamic Golden Age produced important
empirical discoveries in optics, astronomy,
chemistry, mathematics (including the invention
of algebra) and medicine
Muslim doctors even invented a form of medical
peer review, in which visiting physicians filed
their patient case notes with a panel of local
doctors, who then reviewed the standard of
care
