Today the notion of the algorithm is familiar not only to
mathematicians. 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]).
