Omar Khayyam (1048-1131 CE), the Persian polymath, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer and poet, is also popularized in the West through the translation of his magnum opus The Rubaiyat.
He is known to the English-speaking readers through his 101-verse semi-narrative quatrains translated by English writer Edward FitzGerald.
Khayyam also reformed the Iranian calendar, and is believed to have proposed a heliocentric theory well before Copernicus.
