You might not have heard about her during your school years . At least this is the case for me . The contribution of  medieval Muslim  scientists  to the   European  science  is often ignored .Or if it  could not be ignored  it had been pretended  it was  of the Western culture . That was the case of Ibn Sīnā  the Persian  who got a Spanish name " Avicenna " in Europe to cover the fact of his Persian origin . He wrote the most important medical  book of his age and it was impossible to ignore  his works .
