This dimension groups algorithms by the design technique they use, divide and conquer, dynamic programming or greedy choice. Wikipedia notes that "advanced algorithms may utilize loops and involve many conditionals that decide the next step based on the inputs provided," a structural choice that defines the technique behind the algorithm. Browsing by design technique keeps algorithms built the same way grouped together.

The origins of modern numerical analysis are often linked to a 1947 paper by John von Neumann and Herman Goldstine, but others consider modern numerical analysis to go back to work by E. T. Whittaker in 1912.
