Abū-Bakr Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn al-Sāyigh (Arabic language أبو بكر محمد بن يحيى بن الصايغ), known as Ibn Bājjah (Arabic language:ابن باجة), was an Al-Andalus-Arab Muslim Islamic astronomy, Early Islamic philosophy, Islamic medicine, physicist, Arabic poetry and Islamic science who was known in the West using his Latinized name, Avempace. He was born in Zaragoza in what is today Spain and died in Fes, Morocco in 1138.

His thoughts had a clear effect on Ibn Rushd and Albertus Magnus.Most of his writings and book were not completed (or well organized) because of his early death.He had a vast knowledge of Medicine, Mathematics and Astronomy.His main contribution to Islamic Philosophy is his idea on Soul Phenomenology, but unfortunately not completed.

His beloved expressions were Gharib غريب and Mutawahhid متوحد, two approved and popular expressions of Islamic Gnostics.

Ibn Bajjah was also a renowned poet. In his explanation of the Zajal E.G. Gomes writes: "There is some evidence for the belief that it was invented by the famous philosopher and musician known as Avempace. Its chief characteristic being that it is written entirely in the vernacular. ” (Emilio Gracia Gomes in his essay “Moorish Spain")

Though many of his works have not survived, his theories on Islamic astronomy and physics were preserved by Maimonides and Averroes respectively, which had a subsequent influence on later astronomers and physicists in the Islamic Golden Age and Renaissance Europe, including Galileo Galilei.Ernest A. Moody (April 1951). "Galileo and Avempace: The Dynamics of the Leaning Tower Experiment (I)", Journal of the History of Ideas 12 (2), p. 163-193.

Astronomy Maimonides wrote the following on the Islamic astronomy proposed by Ibn Bajjah:

Physics In physics, Ibn Bajjah's law of Motion (physics) was equivalent to the principle that uniform motion implies absence of action by a force. This principle would later form the basis of modern mechanics and have a subsequent influence on physicists such as Galileo Galilei. Ibn Bajjah's definition of velocity was also equivalent to Galileo's definition of velocity:Ernest A. Moody (June 1951). "Galileo and Avempace: The Dynamics of the Leaning Tower Experiment (II)", Journal of the History of Ideas 12 (3), p. 375-422 .

Velocity = Motive Power - Material Resistance

where the motive power is measured by the Relative density of the mobile body and the material resistance is the resisting medium whose resistive power is measured by its specific gravity.Ernest A. Moody (April 1951). "Galileo and Avempace: The Dynamics of the Leaning Tower Experiment (I)", Journal of the History of Ideas 12 (2), p. 163-193 .

Ibn Bajjah was also the first to state that there is always a Reaction (physics) force for every force exerted, a precursor to Gottfried Leibniz's idea of force which underlies Newton's laws of motion or law of reciprocal actions.Shlomo Pines (1964), "La dynamique d’Ibn Bajja", in Mélanges Alexandre Koyré, I, 442-468 468, Paris.
(cf. Abel B. Franco (October 2003). "Avempace, Projectile Motion, and Impetus Theory", Journal of the History of Ideas 64 (4), p. 521-546 .)

Text 71 Text 71 of Averroes' commentary on Aristotle's Physics (Aristotle) contains a discussion on Ibn Bajjah's theory of motion, as well as the following quotation from the seventh book of Ibn Bajjah's lost work on physics:

Averroes writes the following comments on Ibn Bajjah's theory of motion:
