"Nombrosos mètodes d'experiments afinats es van desenvolupar per determinar el pes específic, en els quals estaven basats en particular, sobre la teoria de les balances i el pesatge. Els treballs d'al-Biruni i al-Khazini són el començament de l'aplicació de mètodes experimentals en la ciència medieval

"Un text important d'al-Biruni és Ombres (cap a 1021) on usa tres coordenades rectangulars per definir un punt en les tres dimensions i anticipa idees per a les coordenades polars.

(cf. Abel B. Franco (October 2003). "Avempace, Projectile Motion, and Impetus Theory", Journal of the History of Ideas 64 (4), p. 521-546 [543]: "Pines has also seen Avempace's idea of fatigue as a precursor to the Leibnizian idea of force which, according to him, underlies Newton's third law of motion and the concept of the "reaction" of forces.")

(cf. Abel B. Franco (October 2003). "Avempace, Projectile Motion, and Impetus Theory", Journal of the History of Ideas 64 (4), p. 521-546 [528]: Hibat Allah Abu'l-Barakat al-Bagdadi (c.1080- after 1164/65) extrapolated the theory for the case of falling bodies in an original way in his Kitab al-Mu'tabar (The Book of that Which is Established through Personal Reflection). [...] This idea is, according to Pines, "the oldest negation of Aristotle's fundamental dynamic law [namely, that a constant force produces a uniform motion]," and is thus an "anticipation in a vague fashion of the fundamental law of classical mechanics [namely, that a force applied continuously produces acceleration].")
