THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SCIENTIFIC, CULTURAL HERITAGE OF AL-BERUNI AND ITS ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENCE

Abstract

This article will talk about the great Khorezm thinker Abu Raykhan Beruni, rightfully recognized by historians of world science as the greatest mind of his time (late 10th-first half of the 11th century). Beruni's main area of research was natural science, primarily astronomy, geodesy, mathematics, as well as mineralogy and other natural sciences. His achievements in all these areas of knowledge laid a solid foundation for the further development of rational thought in the East, and some of his discoveries became the property of world science. The main goal is to clearly convey to the reader the most complete image of Beruni - the scientist.
