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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792322108\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8232-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311605534860,"sku":"9780792322108","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792322108.jpg?v=1771507448","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792322108","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
