::I gave the EB text because I consider it far worse than our article: they start out with saying "in a finite number of steps" which is wrong; then they enter the topic of table lookups for finite problems which is completely besides the point, and then they go right into primes and gcd's without a single example algorithm. And I don't find the definition "systematic procedure that produces—in a finite number of steps—the answer to a question or the solution of a problem" any better than "well-defined method or procedure for solving a problem, usually a problem in mathematics or otherwise relating to the manipulation of information".
