+'''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'''.
