    The word 'algorithm' has its roots in the name of the persian mathematician of al-Khwarizmi (Algoritmi in Latin). The modern concept of algorithm was later formalized by David Hilbert around 1928.pic.twitter.com/bkQeiB5toH

        Every one stole the knowledge treasure of Indians. Translated them into their language. Then destroyed the stuff of Indians by burning the libraries of Nalanda, etc, so that Indians do not realise their worth. @TIinExile @GururajKapali @ProudSanatani43

        Al-Khwarizmi wrote "Kitab al hisab al Hindi"( "book of Hindu numericals"). This was translated into Latin by the name "Algorithmi de Numero Indorum" ("Al-Khwarizmi's Indian numericals"). This book's name was abbreviated as "Algorithm". That is how the world knows it today
