ABSTRACT
The Laicization of the famous Islamic mathematician al-Khuwarizmi whose name translated to became Algorithm. Originally the name for the Indian system of a zero with nine digits, Algorism, and the methods used by that system for calculation, it would ultimately acquire the current usage, Algorithm, in the fields of applied and theoretical computing. Kolmogorov indented in developing Algorithmic complexity as a measure of the information content of individual objects. Natural languages have inherent ambiguity that evades even the most accomplished ‘cartographers’ of the structure of language. Information is dimensionless and represents pure numbers. Algorithmic entropy rate measures how random a process is when viewed as a computer.
