Professor Ahmed Djebbar is Professor Emeritus at the University of Lille (France) and a specialist in the history of Arab and Islamic mathematics. He was awarded the Algerian Scholar Medal in 2014, the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences Award in 2020, as well as several other prestigious international distinctions. A member of the Algerian Academy of Sciences and Technologies and the International Academy of the History of Science, he also served as Algeria's Minister of National Education and Minister of Higher Education. The lecture will explore the knowledge developed during the Arab period in the fields of geography and cartography, as well as its connections with the humanities, Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), and the natural sciences. It will highlight the expansion of the Caliphate's frontiers, the control of trade routes, and the advancement of knowledge concerning agricultural and medicinal resources. The presentation will also emphasize the contribution of geography to the medical sciences through an analysis of travelers' accounts, the geography of plants in the Maghreb and al-Andalus, and the influence of trigonometry on improving the accuracy of maps.
