Algowiki:Levels of classification

1 Problem level

The article belongs to this level if it describes a problem which, perhaps, can be solved by means of different mathematical methods.

Articles in this classification level are marked with the {{level-p}} template, which adds them to the Problem level category.

2 Method level

The article belongs to this level if it describes a mathematical method for solving a problem. For this method the existence of different algorithms that implement it is quite possible.

Articles in this classification level are marked with the {{level-m}} template, which adds them to the Method level category.

3 Algorithm level

The article belongs to this level if it describes a specific algorithm that implements the solution of a certain problem by some method.

Articles in this classification level are marked with the {{level-a}} template, which adds them to the Algorithm level category. Articles in which the template {{algorithm}} is present are marked automatically.

4 Implementation level

The article belongs to this level if it describes the software implementation of some algorithm. An implementation always refers to one particular algorithm.

Articles at this classification level are tagged with the {{level-i}} template, which adds them to the Implementation level category.

5 Level of classification next to the internal link

In order to display the level of classification next to the internal link to the article the {{level}} template is used. One of the templates {{level-p}}, {{level-m}}, {{level-a}} needs to be present in the article itself at the same time. For example:

{{level|Cholesky decomposition}}
