Ibn al-Haytham and Eye Optics
Ibn al-Haytham
Abstract
Ibn al-Haytham (965-1040) is
sometimes called al-Basri. He
seems to have written around
92 works of which, remarkably,
over 55 have survived. The main
topics on which he wrote were
optics, including a theory of
light and a theory of vision,
astronomy, and mathematics,
including geometry and number
theory. A seven volume work on
optics, Kitab al-Manazir, is
considered by many to be ibn
al-Haytham's most important
contribution. It was translated
into Latin as Opticae thesaurus
Alhazeni in 1270
