algorithm
     
         a detailed sequence of actions to
        perform to accomplish some task.  named after an iranian
        mathematician, al-khawarizmi.
     
        technically, an algorithm must reach a result after a finite
        number of steps, thus ruling out brute force search methods
        for certain problems, though some might claim that brute force
        search was also a valid generic algorithm.  the term is also
        used loosely for any sequence of actions which may or may not
        terminate.
