It would be interesting to get an account of the usage of the term programming through the development of linear optimization/programming and its usage during WW2, the simplex algorithm, etc, until the creation of fortran not a decade later.

I wonder how dynamic programming fits into all this and when people started to investigate classic problems ala knapsack.
