As I ponder, lets expand algorithm design or algorithmic design to the mathematical process of solutions. An algorithm is a set. A set of mathematical equations, and logical processes, eg. the IF-THEN-ELSE concept or process for complexes of non-linear thought.

09:30, 24 August 2010 (UTC)Sets are data structures with no repeats. An algorithm is a "To-do list" of logical and mathematical operations, soe of these can ofcourse be the same. Therefore an algorith is not a set.reply
Programming languages, like ALGOL, FORTRAN, COBOL, PL/I, SAIL, SNOBOL, etc. are methods to implement an "algorithm design"... but, an "algorithm design" (a/d) is not a language. An a/d can be a hand written process, eg. set of equations, a series of mechanical processes done by hand, an analog piece of equipment, or a digital process and/or processor.
This is a rudimentary beginnings of a long and in-depth discussion.
I don't really get a lot of the technical stuff you mentioned, but I've undid the redirect. However, to avoid redirection or deletion, the page must have something more than "See (other page) for this topic," because that is the exact same thing as a redirect, but non-standard and harder to deal with. Therefore, I'm placing some tags explaining that the page is still under construction.
However, given the nature of the topic, I suspect there might already be an article on this same topic. You should check more carefully just to make sure before putting too much work into this article. No need to reinvent the wheel, right? Anyway, you can continue working on the article. First, I suggest giving it a topic other than just a "see other topic." Then just continue to develop the article.

Thank you. I am trying to find the article I was reading that had this topic highlighted/linked/in-red. The 'algorithm design' concept was being compared with something else. So I quickly created a one-liner for discussion and further expansion. I'm learning fast and seem to be generating work for myself. If we can expand expand this article, great; if not, I'll find the double bracket term and article, and add a footnote to the article. Then, mark this page/article for deletion. Thanks.

It's pretty easy to find the article that links here. Just click "What links here" in the toolbox on the left side of the window. It shows every page with a link to the article. For your convenience, here's a link that takes you to the same "What links here" page:
Special:Whatlinkshere/Algorithm design.

I have added definitions, internal links, references, further readings, categories, examples, and languages. Hopefully other Wikians can add more depth; and relationships with the many elements of
operations research and
dynamic programming. I will be reseaerching more at my local library and provide a bibliography this summer. I left the "stub" category as a reminder for further expansion.

Much of the current article is, in my professional opinion (I do research in algorithms), wrong, and also very poorly written. This could be improved by editing, but I find that this work would be redundant as the current contents of the article
Algorithm already covers algorithm design, and better
than this article. Hence, I propose that this is a case for a merge-and-delete (which in this particular
case amounts to plain deletion, since there is no contents that should be added to
Algorithm) However it has to be done so that links to Algorithm Design will lead to
Algorithm. Another possibility is to move contents related to Algorithm Design from
Algorithm to this article. Please discuss.
