The name algorithmi comes from a mathematician who lived more than a thousand years ago — Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi.
When his books were translated from Arabic into Latin, his name appeared as Algorithmi. Over time, this word slowly changed and became what we now call an algorithm — a step-by-step way to solve a problem.
From the same person also came the word al-jabr, which later became algebra.
These ideas are everywhere today:
- In math problems
- In computer programs
- In everyday problem solving
This website is named algorithmi to remember where these ideas began.
Why algorithmi?
Long before computers existed, people were already using clear steps to solve problems.
That simple idea connects:
- Algorithms in computers
- Algebra in mathematics
- Logical thinking in daily life
algorithmi exists to share these ideas in a simple and visual way, so anyone — anywhere — can explore them and maybe learn something useful.
There are no grades, no pressure, and no deadlines.
Just ideas, explained clearly.
What You’ll Find Here
Algorithms — Explained Visually
We explore algorithms using animations, pictures, and everyday examples.
Topics include things like:
- Sorting
- Searching
- Trees
- Logical steps
You don’t need to know any programming language to understand these ideas.
Programming — Concepts and Examples
We share explanations and examples related to:
- Java
- Python
- JavaScript
- React
- Preact
The goal is to show how programming ideas connect back to algorithms and logic — not to rush through code, but to understand it.
Mathematics — From al-Jabr to Today
Al-Khwarizmi’s work on al-jabr reminds us that math is about thinking, not memorizing.
Here you’ll find:
- Clear explanations
- Many solved examples
- Topics from middle school to high school
You can explore at your own pace and revisit topics anytime.
Our Goal
algorithmi is a shared knowledge space.
The goal is simple:
- Make ideas easier to understand
- Show how math, algorithms, and programming connect
- Share what we know, so someone, somewhere, may benefit
