Sorting Algorithms

The development and acceptance of sorting algorithms are deeply rooted in historical and mathematical contexts. Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khwarizmi, a prominent mathematician at the royal court in Baghdad, set foundational work in the early 9th century.

debates?

mostly focused on how efficient the run-time of the algorithms are, rather than if they are accepted as theory
non-existent because of the very nature of proving algorithms and how they are accepted by the scientific community
