Math proofs

by zeec • 17 Dec 2008, 14:55 • Journals
Im writing a paper about arabian/islamic mathematics.

So i was thinking does anyone know a good website where i can read more about it?

Its mainly about a guy called Omar Khayyam (c. 1048-1131), he was a mathematician. Khayyams greatest work in mathematics was his enumeration of the various types of cubic equations and his solutions of each type.

I just need a place where i can read more about it and his work f.ex. some of the math proofs he made
.
I will be giving a BNC out to the one who helps me the most.

Help me out lads.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Khayyam#Khayyam-Saccheri_quadrilateral
