What caption do you want?
Probably Definition of instead of Algorithm
Then add the line
\floatname{algorithm}{Definition}to the preamble.
(You should also have a look to the book "The LaTeX Companion Second Edition".)
Who's it by?, who is the author?

Are there other LaTeX books that are good?
Of course there are some other good books, but you should go to a book store to form your own opinion about their quality.
I like the LaTeX companion, because it also describes the LaTeX-packages that make live easier.
