You could go to the dictionary of algorithms and data structures at the National Institute of Standards and Technology site. They describe the site as
"This is a dictionary of algorithms, algorithmic techniques, data structures, archetypal problems, and related definitions. Algorithms include common functions, such as Ackermann's function. Problems include traveling salesman and Byzantine generals. Some entries have links to implementations and more information. Index pages list entries by area and by type. The two-level index has a total download 1/20 as big as this page. "
It is available here

Not sure exactly what your question means. An algorithm could refer to any way in which you choose to solve a problem, such as how you solve a maze, or a mathematics problem. Most humans don't so closely adhere to algorithms as do computer programs, naturally.

One can argue that every life process is based on an algorithm. For example, if I take 10 steps forward - I will reach my mailbox.
