Outline of algorithms
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to algorithms: An algorithm is a finite, well-defined sequence of instructions or rules for solving a problem or performing a computation. Algorithms are central to computer science, mathematics, operations research, artificial intelligence, cryptography, data compression, computer graphics, bioinformatics, and many other fields. The study of algorithms includes their design, proof of correctness, efficiency, computational complexity, and implementation in computer programs.
