Beruni studied astronomy, mathematics, geography, history and many other sciences. Among his famous works there is a large book about India.

Примеры
“Studying Beruni”. Our class held a “Great scholars” week. I collected information about Beruni. From his youth he loved reading books and learned several languages. The scholar calculated the size of the Earth. The more Beruni read, the more new questions he found. Taking an example from historical figures, I decided never to tire of gaining knowledge.
Key dates: 973 – born; 1048 – died. 1048 − 973 = 75 years.
