- They invented algebra.
- Maryam Mirzakhani, an Iranian Muslim, is the only woman to win the Fields Medal. She died in 2017 of breast cancer.
Aside from math, there is Abdus Salam, a Muslim Nobel Laureate in physics. This is enough to invalidate any claim about Islam being incompatible with doing science.
