Contributions of muslims geography, math, medicine .pptxkvanko
Muslims made many contributions to geography, mathematics, and medicine during the Middle Ages:
- Muslim scholars created accurate maps and calculated the Earth's circumference within 9 miles of the correct value. They used compasses and astrolabes for navigation.
- The great scholar Al-Khwarizmi established the foundations of algebra and popularized the use of Arabic numerals in Europe through his translations. He is considered the father of algebra.
- Muslims built the world's first hospitals in major cities and brought medical care to rural areas. Their hospitals had separate wards and surgeons performed operations using animal gut for stitches. Scholars like Ibn Sina and Al-Razi made discoveries about infections, bacteria, and

Muslims influenced art, music, and recreation during medieval times. They used geometric and floral designs in art to avoid depicting living beings, as only God can create life. This led to the creation of arabesque patterns in illuminated manuscripts, pottery, textiles, and mosque and palace decorations. Muslims also advanced music, establishing schools like the one in Cordoba led by Ziryab, and incorporating instruments like drums, flutes and lutes. For recreation, they enjoyed intellectual pursuits like chess and physical activities like polo matches on horseback.
Valentine's Day originated from a Roman tradition where Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men so they would be better soldiers. A priest named Valentine secretly married couples and performed marriage ceremonies, going against Claudius' orders. When Valentine's actions were discovered, he was put to death on February 14th. Centuries later he was named a saint by the Catholic church. Now Valentine's Day is celebrated as a day of love and friendship, with an estimated 150 million cards sent each year, making it the second most popular holiday after Christmas.
The Freedom Riders organized mixed-race bus rides from Washington DC to New Orleans in 1961 to protest segregated bus travel. They faced threats and violence from angry mobs and the KKK in several southern cities. In Anniston, Alabama a bus was firebombed, and in Birmingham riders were severely beaten by the KKK while law enforcement stood by. Over 400 people participated as Freedom Riders total, inspiring more protests across the South and forcing the federal government to intervene to enforce desegregation laws. In 1963, protests in Birmingham, Alabama also turned violent as police attacked demonstrators with attack dogs and fire hoses, images which drew national attention and exposed brutal police tactics. Martin Luther King Jr. was jailed during

Students are asked questions to discuss these topics and how media has shaped views of Islam and jihad.
After defeating Germany, Japan continued expanding its empire across the Pacific, conquering Southeast Asia. In 1942, the Allies halted Japan's advance at the Battle of the Coral Sea. A decisive American victory at the Battle of Midway soon after marked a turning point, as the Allies began island hopping toward Japan. As the Allies advanced, Japan increasingly relied on kamikaze attacks by pilots crashing bomb-laden planes into Allied ships. Fierce fighting continued at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, with heavy casualties on both sides. Allied leaders estimated an invasion of Japan would cost over 1.5 million lives and led them to consider alternatives to avoid such loss of life.
