They were well settled in cities in their Golden Age. Mecca at one point had more books than anywhere on Earth.

Founded by a nomadic people does not mean nomadic.

Algebra was discovered only because the Islamic world had built half-a-dozen major universities. Centralization of knowledge to have a constant access to peers is hardly a nomadic tradition. People are not defined forever by their forebears.

oh, so now the brown skinned desert dwellers did a science, in spite of their living in a hot place? :shocked-pikachu:

also, hilarious because the seljuk empire wasnt founded for another several hundred years AFTER algebra was invented. wild how both nomadic and nonnomadic people existed in the same place and impacted a complex culture of science and legalism.
