'''Algorithm''' --- алгоритм. | |||
An '''algorithm''' is a specific set of instructions for carrying out | |||
a procedure or solving a problem, usually with the requirement that the procedure | |||
terminates at some point. Specific algorithms are sometimes called a method, | |||
a procedure, or a technique. The word ''algorithm'' is a distortion of al-Khwarizmi, | |||
a Persian mathematician who wrote an influential treatise about algebraic methods. | |||
The process of applying an algorithm to an input to obtain an output | |||
is called a '''computation.''' | |||
Clearly, each ''Turing machine''constitutes an | |||
algorithm in the intuitive sense. The statement that a Turing machine is a general-enough mathematical model for the intuitive notion of an algorithm is usually referred to as '''Church's thesis'''. |
