Omar Chajjám byl perský polyhistor, matematik, filozof, astronom, lékař a básník. Jeho filozofická díla a jeho význam jako učitele zůstaly ve stínu jeho vědeckých a básnických spisů. Mezi svými současníky byl znám jako „filozof světa“. Mimo persky mluvící země se proslavil především díky anglickému překladateli Edwardu FitzGeraldu, který jeho jméno proslavil na Západě.
