This study discusses the history and development of the number system in India and its influence on the evolution of mathematics worldwide. The Indian number system has evolved since the Indus Valley Civilization and has undergone significant innovations, such as the invention of the number zero by Brahmagupta and the development of the place value system, which forms the basis of the modern decimal number system. This research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, involving the analysis of various written sources, such as books, academic journals, and historical articles on the Indian number system. The findings indicate that the Indian number system has had a profound impact on the advancement of mathematics, particularly after it was introduced to the Islamic world by scholars such as Al-Khwarizmi, who later disseminated it to Europe, making it the foundation of the numerical system used today. Additionally, the Indian number system contributed to the development of various branches of mathematics, including algebra, calculus, and number theory, and served as the foundation for modern technology, including computers and calculators. Therefore, understanding the history of the Indian number system should be reinforced in mathematics education, accompanied by further research on its applications in contemporary science and technology.

This study examines the influence of Islamic intellectual transformation on the development of Western civilization, especially in the transfer of knowledge, technology, and cultural values ​​from the Middle Ages to the modern era. The background of this study is based on the importance of understanding the contribution of Islamic civilization in building the intellectual foundation for the rise of Europe. This study aims to identify and analyze the contributions of Muslim scientists in various disciplines, such as philosophy, astronomy, mathematics, and medicine, and how these thoughts were adopted and developed in the Western world. The method used is a qualitative approach through historical literature studies and comparative analysis of classical and modern documents. The findings show that Islamic intellectual thought played a significant role in accelerating Western intellectual development, through translations of scientific works and the influence of the thoughts of figures such as Al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Rushd. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of recognizing the role of Islamic civilization in the history of global science, as well as the need to revitalize dialogue between civilizations to strengthen harmony and cross-cultural cooperation.

Mathematics is central to our daily lives and is taught from an early age. As a result, mathematics is used in various areas of life. The history of mathematics is very important to know and study because through it we can know and understand the truth and essence of math. Besides, the history of mathematics shows its connection with many other fields of science. In the history of Islamic civilization, the development of mathematics has begun since the descent of the Quran as a sacred book for the Muslims. Through the Quran, Allah comprehensively invites His creatures to study mathematical science, which can help them to do many things, especially in worship. In this journal, the author also uses methods of literature study with qualitative research to find out how the development of mathematics through Islamic civilization. Therefore, in the journal this time, the author will try to review the evolution of mathematics through the history of Islamic civilization
