Before Knuth popularized Big O notation in CS and started the field of analysis of algorithms, already in 1958 N. G. de Bruijn wrote an entire book on Asymptotic Methods in Analysis (not CS): see a few of its leading pages here: https://shreevatsa.wordpress.com/2014/03/13/big-o-notation-a... And the notation was already being used by Bachmann in 1894 and Landau by 1909 in analytic…
