Ask HN: How to check whether research paper algorithm was patented?

I was under the impression that algorithms couldn't be patented, even in the US. Only software implementations (in the US) or devices using them. Algorithms are just maths.

They have to catch you first and then you have to be big enough for them to care.

My concern is how do I know if the algorithm was patented?
