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\").
