Omar Khayyam was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet who lived in the 11th and 12th centuries. He was born in Nishapur, in present-day Iran, and is best known for his mathematical contributions, particularly his work on algebra and the development of the Persian calendar.
In addition to his mathematical and scientific work, Omar Khayyam also wrote poetry, including his famous “Rubaiyat,” which is a collection of quatrains that explore themes such as the nature of life, the passage of time, and the pursuit of pleasure.
Omar Khayyam was also interested in astrology and wrote several works on the subject, including a treatise on the principles of astrology and a work on the interpretation of dreams. He believed that astrology could be used to gain insight into the workings of the universe and to understand the influence of celestial bodies on human affairs.
Omar Khayyam’s work in astrology was influenced by the Hellenistic tradition, and he was particularly interested in the use of astrological techniques to predict the future. His contributions to the field helped to establish astrology as a respected discipline in the Persian world, and his influence can still be seen in modern Persian astrology.
