Perhaps it should be said that computer scientists practice the
		"algorithym method"		:-)
Which was, no doubt, detailed in the Data Sutra?

TRIVIA:
The word "algorithm" is from the name of an Arabic mathematician,
Al Khowarizmi, or something like that.  While I'm at it, "algebra"
is from the author of a very old algebra text, Al Jabr, or something
like that (no, not Kareem).
