Panorama of Studies on the History of Mathematics in Andalusia and the Maghreb Between the Ninth and Sixteenth Centuries

This article sets out the norms for the study of the history of mathematics in Andalusia and the Maghreb between the ninth and sixteenth centuries. This article describes in general terms how the panorama of historical research in mathematics is taking shape. There is no doubt in the history of mathematics that it was the Arabs who developed mathematics. The method used by the author is library research. Literature research is research in which data collection methods are carried out by reading various literature related to information relevant to the research topic. In the region of Andalusia and the Maghreb, the history of mathematical research developed symbolic algebra, namely as modern arithmetic notation. Algebraic symbols were first developed by Ibn Al Banna, an Andalusian mathematician in the 14th century, then the symbols were modified by Al Qalasadi in the 15th century. From the various findings and the overall study, it is concluded that the research approach pursued by Muslim scientists to mathematics can be attributed to the phenomenological approach.
