Which outcome accelerated advancements in structural engineering within medieval Islamic architecture?

💡 Explanation

Advancements occurred because algebra enabled precise calculation of loads and stresses (STATICS) on complex curved surfaces found in domes and arches. This therefore enhanced stability, rather than reliance on empirical methods or traditional construction.
