[Oops.] fihisab should be fi Hisab #241

Open pooyataher opened 3 years ago

Chapter 0, section 0.1 What is an Algorithm, page 2, latest edition (1st paperback edition — June 13, 2019)

In the first paragraph of page 2 fihisab should be replaced with fi Hisab. fi and Hisab are two separate words and so should be written with a space in between.

(To clarify more, fi in Arabic means in in English. And Hisab means calculation. fi Hisab means about calculation. The letter H in Hisab can be typeset with a dot below it as it is the h sound pronounced from the bottom of the throat.)
