The term "Persian physicists" typically refers to scientists and researchers from historical and contemporary Persia (modern-day Iran) who have made significant contributions to the field of physics. Throughout history, Persian scholars have played a crucial role in the development of various scientific fields, including physics, mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy.
Al-Khazini, also known as Al-Khazini Al-Baghdadi, was a prominent Arab physicist, mathematician, and astronomer who lived during the 11th or 12th century (often cited around 1050-1115 CE). He is best known for his work in mechanics and his contributions to the understanding of gravitational and hydrostatic principles.
Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and geographer who lived during the 9th century, particularly in Baghdad, which was part of the Islamic Golden Age. He is often referred to as the "father of algebra," a term that stems from the title of his most famous work, "Al-Kitab al-Mukhtasar fi Hisab al-Jabr wal-Muqabala" (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing).
