A mathematician is someone who applies their substantial understanding of mathematics to their job, which is often to solve mathematical issues. They are also known as mathematicians. Numbers, data, amount, structure, space, models, and change are all things that mathematicians are interested with.
During the Middle Ages, science and mathematics in the Islamic world followed a variety of patterns, and the methods of financing differed depending mostly on the academics. In many locations, it was the widespread patronage and strong academic policies adopted by certain rulers that enabled scientific knowledge to grow. Throughout the reign of certain caliphs, funding for the translation of scientific texts into other languages was available, and it turned out that some scholars became experts in the works they translated, and as a result, they received additional funding to continue the development of certain sciences. As these disciplines drew more attention from the elite, more professors were invited and supported to do research in specific fields of knowledge. Al-Khawarizmi, a translator and mathematician, was an example of someone who profited from this form of encouragement. Many of the intellectuals who worked under Muslim authority throughout the Middle Ages were polymaths, which was a distinguishing characteristic of their work.
