It is traditional to sacrifice a lamb or a goat to celebrate holidays. However, today few Iraqis have the means to do this, and celebrations are now minimal.

how he contributed to math:    In al-Uqlidisi's book Kita b al-fusul fi-l-hisab al-Hindii (The book of chapters on Hindu Arithmetic), two new contributions are significant: (1) an algorithm for multiplication on paper is given, and (2) decimal fractions are used for the first time. Both methods do not resemble modern ones, but the methods are easily understood using modern terminology.                                                
and
Ghiyath al'Din Jamshid Mas'ud al'Kashi
Born: 1390 in Kashan, Iran
Died: 1450 in Samarkand (now Uzbek)

how he contributed to math: He calculated  to 16 decimal places and considered himself the inventor of decimal fractions. In fact, he gives 2 pie  as  6.2831853071795865

which was the best until about 1700.
