Greek Logic and formalisation tradition and Indian tradition of algorithmic problem-solving form two of the four pillars of the current computer and information (ICT) revolution. Algorithmic problem-solving has been one of the foundations of Mathematics; and Logic, a part of philosophy, forms the basis of Euclidean Geometry.
