It forms a conceptual base for information processing; the existence of a corresponding algorithm makes automatic information processing possible. The theory of algorithms (together with mathematical logic ) forms the the- oretical basis for modern computer science (see [Sem Us 86]; this article is called \"Mathematical Logic in Computer Science and Computing Practice\" and in its title mathematical logic is understood in a broad sense including the theory of algorithms). However, not everyone realizes that the word \"algorithm\" includes a transformed toponym Khorezm. Algorithms were named after a great sci- entist of medieval East, is al-Khwarizmi (where al-Khwarizmi means \"from Khorezm\"). He lived between c. 783 and 850 B.C. and the year 1983 was chosen to celebrate his 1200th birthday. A short biography of al-Khwarizmi compiled in the tenth century starts as follows: \"al-Khwarizmi. His name is Muhammad ibn Musa, he is from Khoresm\" (cited according to [Bul Rozen Ah 83, p.8]).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282182660247,"sku":"9789048142569","price":10915.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048142569.webp?v=1769301392","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/algorithms-main-ideas-and-applications-9789048142569","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
