I noticed that there are a lot of threads about wars, warriors, empires etc. in this sub-forum but very few about scientists and culture so... This sticky topic is about the scientists from the Steppes and Central Asia and let's share any knowledge about them. Let me start with a link for Ulugh Bey:

Ali KucuEd. 5.0
Original birth name: Ali Alaeddin.
Born Samarkand/Semarcand/Semerkant
(date unknown), died December 18, 1474 in Istanbul.



Ali Kuu presenting one of his written works to Mehmed, The Conqueror...

Ali Kuu had the good fortune to live in an age of Ottoman enlightenment -- during which the philosophy of Abu Bakr al-Razi (the Islamic 9th century medical writer and proponent of human intellect and reason) held sway. When that enlightened philosophy was later overtaken by the anti-intellectual philosophy of al-Ghazali, the Ottoman empire began its decline.

Famous astronomer and mathematician who came to Ottoman Empire prominence during the reign of Sultan Mehmed II. His father was Mehmed Bey -- a falconer in Samarkand for Ulu Bey, the grandson of Tamerlane. His father's profession (doanc) led to Ali's 'pseudonym', Kuu.
Young Ali received his first lessons in mathematics and astronomy from Ulu Bey himself -- and Kazzade-i Rumi60, a well-known mathematician (aka Kazzade Musa Paa, according to Stanford  Shaw 26).
Afterwards, he ran away to Kerman (Kirman/Carmania -- a province in SE Iran) and completed his education there. When Ali Kuu returned to Samarkand, he presented Ulu Bey with his first written work (Risale-i Hall'l-Ekalil-Kamer -- a treatise on the stages of the moon), as an atonement for his ill-behaved departure to Kerman. Ulu Bey appointed Ali Kuu to head the famous observatory in Samarkand (that Tamerlane had built). Subsequently, Ali Kuu and Ulu Bey collaborated on Zic-i Ulu Bey, an enormous catalog of the stars -- and an important astrological work of the time.
When Ulu Bey died (1449) Ali Kuu had to take refuge (on the way to Tebriz) with Akkoyunlu Uzun Hasan who arranged for him to go to Istanbul as good-will ambassador. When he arrived, Sultan Mehmed II gave him a lavish reception and proposed that Ali give lessons at the Ayasofia Medrese. After his ambassadorial duties were satisfactorily completed, Ali Kuu settled in Istanbul where he established his own school. There he taught such ulema students as Molla Sar Ltf, Kivameddin Kasm, and Sinaneddin Yusuf60 -- as well as the cosmographer Hafz Mehmet ibn Ali (d. 1543) and the Ottoman admiral and geographer Seydi Ali Reis (d. 1562).26
Ali Kuu also wrote 'popular' works in his time on Islamic Theology, the hadiths, Koranic Commentary, Arab Language grammar and syntax -- in the latter category his most famous work was, Unkud'z-Zevahir.
His most important work of all was a theoretical mathematical treatise written in Farsi, entitled Zic-i Ulu Bey erh. Another important work, this one on astronomy written in 1457 (also in Farsi), was Risale fi'l-Hey'e. In the latter work, consisting of a preface and two articles, he knowledgeably and accurately discussed the distances between the heavenly bodies and the Earth. (Later, he added a third article and translated the lot into Arabic as Risale fi'l-Fethiyye.) He is also known to have dedicated and presented (to Sultan Mehmed II) Arabic translations of his works Risale fi'l-Hisab' and Risale-t'l-Muhammediye.60

Ali Kuu died peacefully in Istanbul (1474) after a distinguished career as educator, writer, and scientist in the enli
