Any mathematical process is an algorithm.
A set of steps used to solve a mathematical computation.
Algorithm
An algorithm, perhaps.
The definition of "standard algorithm" is that it is a mathematical method used to solve problems such as addition, substraction, division, and multiplication.
Algorithms are basically sequences of instructions to solve a problem or to perform a calculation. A logarithm is a specific mathematical concept. For more information on each, look at the sites listed below: Algorithms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm Logarithms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithm

It is called a recipe. The mathematical analogy is an algorithm.

A monitor is the "gateway" to your computer. It is the output of your computer. E.g. a mathematical formula has an input, an output and an algorithm. The keyboard & mouse is the input, the computer is the algorithm, and the monitor is the output.
That would be an Algorithm.
The worst fit algorithm is a means by which an operating system can choose which space in memory to store information (this algorithm can also be used for allocating hard disk space). The algorithm searches for free-space in memory in which it can store the desired information. The algorithm selects the largest possible free space that the information can be stored on (i.e., that is bigger than the information needing to be stored) and stores it there. This is directly opposed to the best fit algorithm which searches the memory in much the same way as before, only instead chooses the open memory space which is the smallest available which the information can be stored in (i.e., that is bigger than the information needing to be stored).
