Callisthenes, a relative of the philosopher Aristotle, was the court historian to Alexander the Great (356 – 323 BC) and a member of the campaign. He was eventually thrown into prison on a charge of treasonous conspiracy by the increasingly paranoid Alexander and later he was either executed or died of natural causes in the prison. William Jones (1746-1794) has the following account on the question of the relationship between Indian and Greek logic:Aristotle collected, arranged, and corrected all that had been discovered before his time, and brought it to an incomparably greater state of perfection. If we thus observe how the course of Greek culture had prepared the way for, and led up to the work of Aristotle, we shall be little inclined to believe the assertion of the Persian author, quoted by Sir William Jones with much approval, that Kallisthenes found a complete system of logic among the Indians, and sent it to his uncle Aristotle.
Now the relevant text from the Dabistan which was composed in about 1655 by a Zoroastrian author is:… Here I cannot refrain from introducing a singular tradition, which prevailed, according to the well-informed author of the Dabistan, in the Panjab and in several Persian provinces, that, “among other Indian curiosities, which Callisthenes transmitted to his uncle, was a technical system of logick, which the Brahmens had communicated to the inquisitive Greek,” and which the Mohammedan writer supposes to have been the groundwork of the famous Aristotelean method: if this be true, it is one of the most interesting facts, that I have met with in Asia; and if it be false, it is very extraordinary, that such a story should have been fabricated either by the candid MOHSANI Fani; or by the simple Parsi Pundits, with whom he had conversed; but, not having had leisure to study the Nyaya Sastra, I can only assure you, that I have frequently seen perfect syllogisms in the philosophical writings of the Brahmens, and have often heard them used in their verbal controversies. …
India and Greece had a long period of interaction that predates Alexander. Diogenes Laertius (3rd century AD) in his Lives of the Eminent Philosophers says that Democritus (~400 BC), the originator of Greek atomism, went to India and learnt from the gymnosophists (sadhus). There is also a strong tradition that the Pythagoras traveled to India and of course the famous theorem named after him was known in India centuries earlier.Tark sastra is the science of dialectics… Arastu [Aristotle], who was a chief of the learned claimed that he had derived [his logic] from an old treatise upon logic, the precepts of which were without explanation, and to have bestowed on it that arrangement under which it now exists among the learned: he meant, probably, that the maxims are the same as those extracted from the Tarka.
These barbaric goat shaggers who used to Live in desert and believed Earth is flat will one day invent Algebra out of no where lol.

Perhaps the only thing they did is making whole world ALL ZEBRA(a species of donkey) . No surprise lies and deceit is in their blood.
You are a charming woman , my lady .I wanted to solve this, .
x = x/5 + x/3 + 3(x/3-x/5) +1
x = x/5+ x/3 + 3x/3 - 3x/5 + 1
x = -2x/5 + 4x/3 + 1
x = (4x+3)/3 - 2x/5
x = (5(4x+3) - 6x)/15
15x = 20x + 15 - 6x
20x - 6x - 15x + 15 = 0
15 - x = 0
x = 15
i.e. Number of bees = 15
GheyYou are a charming woman , my lady .

Implying as if islameic golden has something to do with islame in first place.Muslims were far more advanced in science and technology when Europe and rest of the world was living in the dark until they captured back their lands and started translating books in to their native languages. So I am not sure how and where you get this idea that Muslims are regressive and antiscience. I wonder if it is just plain hatred or something else.
Read the question again ,in the pic .Ghey
Mu’tazila was the driving force behind this 'golden age' and mutazila is labelled as haram kuffar. Neverthless when it comes to claiming the ideals contributions of mutazila then all becomes instantly halal. Standard tactic of subcontinent moslems to claim the shiet of others as their own achievement.Muslim contribution to science is still acknowledged and used even today.
250 years ka small period during benevolent abbasid when caliph goes on to establish a darul hikmah which included folks scientists thinkers philosophers from all religions Hindus Romans Greeks Christians and Jews . However it was after the rise of coomers like al-Ghazali that all scientific reasoning came to an end in the 13th century. The Arab culture and language predated the cult of islam. More than ninety nine percent Arabic translations of works of Greek philosophers were done by either christian or Jewish scholars. It is interesting to note that islamic astronomy, based on Ptolemy’s system was geocentric. For example that algebra went through constant exchange transfer of knoweldge back and forth among Greeks Indians and even chinese and ‘Arabic’ numbers were actually BHARTIYA.Lol what.

Says someone who has Sethi as his surname, lmao.Muslims were far more advanced in science and technology when Europe and rest of the world was living in the dark until they captured back their lands and started translating books in to their native languages.
