Ulugh Beg
Mīrzā Muhammad Tāraghay bin Shāhrukh, also known as Ulugh Beg, was a monarch of Timurid and an astronomer and mathematician. Ulugh Beg was noted for his work in mathematics related to astronomy, such as trigonometry and spherical geometry, as well as for his shared interest in arts and intellectual pursuits. He is said to speak 5 languages: Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Mongolian, and a small amount of Chinese. During his reign, the Timurid Empire reached the cultural peak of the Timurid Renaissance thanks to his care and patronage. Samarkand is captured and handed over to Ulugh Beg by his father, Shah Rukh. He built the great Ulugh Beg Observatory in Samarkand between 1424 and 1429. It was considered by scholars to be one of the best observatories in the Muslim world at that time and the largest in Central Asia. Ulugh Beg has since been recognized by many scholars as the most important observational astronomer since the 15th century.
