4- Risala-Jabro-Muqabla (Algebra)
5- Risala Dar Ilm-I-Logarithm (Logarithm)
6- Talkhees Ilm-e-Muthallath Kurvi (spherical Trigonomenty)
7- Taje Tauqeet (Timings)
8- Al-alil-Ataya (Geometry & Plane Trignomentry )
9- Sirrul Auqat (Astrology )
10 Maqala-Mufarridah (Astronomy) etc.
Beside the above mentioned books, his mathematical applications are also found in the following books :-
(1) Fatawa Radhvia vol 1 & other volumes.
(2) Addaulatul Makkiah
(3) Fauze mobeen
In "Fatawa Radhvia" he has applied Logarithms, equations & factorization etc.
In "Addaulatul Makkiah" he has manifested his mastery over ‘set theory’ & ‘Topology’
"Set theory" was being formulated in 1892 by two German Mathematicians & was not introduced even till
the end of Ist decade of 20th century and even there was no imanigation of "Topology" but a Maulvi applied
these Algebraic theories in his religious book .
"Addaulatul Makkiah" in 1905 & therefore we can say that he is the inventor of these theories
In "Fauze Mobeen" he has applied Algebra, Dynamics, spherical Trigonometry, Hydrostatics & Astronomy etc.
Many Ulama & Scholars like Prof. Dr Abrar, Rawalpindi (Pakistan) Prof. Shabbir
Ghauri, Aligarh-India &
Khwaja Muzaffar, India have written Scholarly articles
on the grasp of Imam Ahmad Raza in Mathematis.
World fame Mathematician of his time & former Vice Chancellor of Muslim University
Aligarh, Dr. Sir
Ziyauddin had attended him for the solutions of his Mathematical problems for which he was about to go to
Germany. Imam Ahmad Raza solved his problams within no time & he was wonder struck.
He said, " His knowledge is Inspired Knowledge (God blessing)" He also said, " Now in India, there is no one so
knowledgeable" An American lady Professor Dr. Barbara D. Matcalf has written this incident as under :-
" He (Ahmad Raza) was distinguished from the very beginning for his skill & initative skill in
Mathematics. He was said to have solved the problems of Sir Ziyauddin for which he would have travelled
Germany in search of solution".
