ALGORITHMS IN SCIENCE

In the sciences, algorithms are primarily used to obtain, sort, or process data. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology

• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

there are many algorithm techniques, which they list alphabetically. These algorithms are used in many different disciplines depending on the objectives of those who design and use the algorithms. The algorithms listed at NIST fall under the broad heading Algorithms and Data Structures. Descriptions of the algorithms can be obtained according to type or area:
