ABSTRACT

In this paper we will present some of the mathematical achievements of Abraham ibn Ezra, to which he was not given proper credit or credit of being the first to introduce these mathematical concepts to Europe. As a result, we will correct to a degree the history of mathematics. It is very possible that Abraham ibn Ezra did not achieve general recognition for his work as his books were written in Hebrew and never translated into Latin. However, he still deserves recognition for this.
