Drawing Algorithms

An algorithm, drawn by a 28-year-old female nurse in Switzerland.

Then I would ask you to draw below how you think an algorithm works or how you imagine it to work. Here again it doesn’t matter if right or wrong, beautiful or not. [whispers - unclear] I don't know, I never had that in school, really. Hmm. Something... Like this, maybe? Can you explain it to me a bit? I don't know what an algorithm is exactly. I think it's a mathematical sequence of some formula. Okay Can it be? Or just something that is recurring, but I don't know exactly what the content is. And how did you visualize it here? I don't know, spontaneously. So three, are they hyphens or minuses? Yes, exactly, no... Could be both. Simply a formula, a mathematical formula that would then always repeat itself. Yes And says something Can you give me an example of what the statements might be? Yeah, it's like an order. Okay Maybe also regarding satellites or something like that, if you connect them now. Could it be a command how communications are controlled. One more follow-up question: Do you know when you first heard about algorithms, in what context? Math class...? Yeah I think. Then I'll stop it now, thank you.
