The algorithm concept – tool for

With starting point in Donald Knuth’s paper "Ancient Babylonian Algorithms", and using the algebraic reading of pre-Modern mathematical texts as a parallel, the paper discusses the relevance of the algorithm concept, on one hand as an analytical tool for the understanding and comparison of mathematical procedures, on the other as a possible key to how pre-Modern reckoners thought their mathemat...
