Description

@leios

Currently, the Algorithm Archive is divided into large algorithmic "domains" of computational_physics, computational_mathematics and so on. I wrote it this way so that readers could easily learn about that topic of interest when it was sufficiently filled with algorithms. For example, if someone wanted to learn about computational physics, they just go to that section.

The problem here is that many of the algorithms in computational_physics could easily belong in computational_mathematics or other areas, so instead of providing large overarching directories, it might be better to divide those sections up into individual components (like ODE_solvers or something), and then provide an "algorithmic guide to computational physics" at the start, which provides commentary through all the different algorithms and methods in computational physics (kinda like a large outline for those who want to learn the topic).

These guides would be written after we have a sufficient number of algorithms in the Archive, so it will be a while, but I wanted to create an issue to keep this in mind and see if anyone has a better idea on how to organize this project. As always, I am open to suggestions!
