Many contributions have been made to the fields of science and knowledge by the Arab nation - throughout its history - and it is truly regrettable that we have neglected these contributions and did not pay attention to them. Hence the importance of this book, "The Scientific Heritage of the Arabs," which was written by Qadri Hafez Tuqan, who was a member of a number of prestigious scientific societies such as: "The Asian Society in London," "The Mathematical Sciences Societies in England and America," and here it seeks to shed light on the cultural contribution of the Arabs to the sciences of mathematics and astronomy.
The importance of this book - the first edition of which appeared in 1941 - increases with the scientific presentation of the most famous physicist of the modern era, Dr. Ali Mustafa Musharafa, Dean of the Faculty of Science at Fouad I University, and this edition was presented and reviewed by Dr. Medhat Ramadan Al-Astati, Faculty of Science, has outstanding scientific and academic contributions.
