Over at the normally largely fictional National Review Kevin D, Williamson brings us some new fiction. The Greeks Invented Mathematics, and Now It’s Bankrupting Them.  As much as we not like to admit it our modern mathematics comes from the Muslims of he Ottoman Empire.  They brought a number system from India that included the the concept of zero.  And then there is algebra and algorithm. The Greeks may have planted the seed but it was the Islamic scholars that brought it to fruition.
