Persian astronomer (1201–1274) For other people with similar names, see Al-Tusi . Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Tusi (1201 – 1274), also known as Nasir al-Din (al-)Tusi ( ; ) or simply as (al-)Tusi , was a Persian polymath , architect, philosopher , physician , scientist , and theologian . Nasir al-Din al-Tusi was a well published author, writing on subjects of math, engineering, prose , and mysticism. In astronomy , al-Tusi created very accurate tables of planetary motion , an updated planetary model, and critiques of Ptolemaic astronomy . He also made strides in logic , mathematics but especially trigonometry, biology, and chemistry. Nasir al-Din al-Tusi left behind a great legacy as well. Tusi is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists of medieval Islam, since he is often considered the creator of trigonometry as a mathematical discipline in its own right. The Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406) considered Tusi to be the greatest of the later Persian scholars. There is also reason to believe that he may have influenced Copernican heliocentrism . Nasir proposed that humans are related to animals and that some animals have a limited level of awareness while humans have a superior level of awareness amongst animals.
