In 711, the Moorish general Tariq-Al-Din invaded Spain, and conquered it
in 720, Tariq-Al-Din passed; this was an oppurtunity for the Spanish to revolt
The Moors translated Archimedes and Euclid in to latin and Arabic.
The Moors were good farmers; and brought several crops to Spain. The Balearic islands were used as an agricultural outpost.

Some Moors were notable scholars.
Al-Marrakushi- Morroccon historian, scholar, historian, judge and biographer who wrote a collection of biographies of notable people from Morrocco and Andalusia.
Ibn Hayyan- A notable Andalusian historian. I'm not sure how many of his works have been lost.
Ibn Abd Rabbih- Wrote an anthology titled "The Unique Necklace".
Ibn Maḍāʾ- Andalusian Linguist
Ibn Idhari- was a 14th century historian from Morrocco who wrote about the Maghreb and Iberia.
Ibn al-Khatib- Was a historian from Grenada and Morrocco (though perhaps of Arab extraction).
Said al-Andalusi- historian who wrote a book called "history of science".
Al-Humaydi- Left Andalusia for Baghdad, and wrote Jadh'watu-i-muktabis (The Sparkle of Fire).
Nur ad-Din al-Bitruji- Some astrnomer and Qadi (judge or magister) from Morrocco and Andalusia.
In modern day Morrocco, there is
Mahdi Elmandjra in economics, futurism and sociology.
