  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).
