Necessity really is the mother of invention. While Europeans were busy deciding if bathing was a sin, Muslim scholars were casually inventing spherical trigonometry just to figure out which way to pray. Talk about motivation!

Next time your GPS reroutes you, thank a medieval Muslim mathematician who was just trying to perform their religious duties correctly. That's what I call practical problem-solving.
