Etymology
The term 'algorithmic' originates from the word 'algorithm', which itself comes from the name of the Persian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi. The concept of algorithms has been used in mathematics and computing for centuries, but the modern usage of 'algorithmic' in relation to problem-solving procedures emerged in the mid-20th century with the advancement of computer science.
