Maybe they just weren't as advanced as the christian ones at that point in time so they only caught up somewhat...

slux is right. The fact that "algebra" comes from arabic al-jabr and that we use arabic numbers which are also written from right to left is just a coincidence ;-)

Some historians say that the dark ages wasn't as dark as some people will have it. It's just renaissance propaganda :)

Just so you know, only the digits' symbols are arabic. The positional numeration system is very old, apparently chinese, and the zero concept would be indian, and the zero symbol would be something between chinese and indian.
The arabs just adopted the system.

Furthermore, the symbols as we know them greatly differ freom the arabic ones.

That of course is not to say the arabic world didnt have scientific skills at that time.
But yes, i's off topic.

As a side note i have found googling images with "nsfw" to be quite entertaining.

I find the shadow a bit confusing, though i don't think it's fake, in fact it's just logical to look that way if the light is about the same position as the camera. but still.

:p
HelloWorld: Did you ever hear about cameras with a blitz? :P
mmh, yes. i call that a flash. but then the shadow should be exactly behind the girl, non-visible. Of course theres a distance between the lens and the light emitter, but i wouldnt have thought it would cause that much difference. oh my. :)
