  1. Algorithms “Step-by-step procedure” is a mouthful. We have a name for that: an algorithm . A “well-ordered collection of unambiguous and effectively computable operations that when executed produces a result and halts in a finite amount of time.” [Schneider and Gersting]. Named after the 9th-century Persian mathematician Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi, Persian computer scientist. Sculpture: S. Ch. Babajan / Image: Michael Zaretski, Flickr.
