"Damit wird insbesondere zu der interessanten Aufgabe, eine quadratische Gleichung beliebig vieler Variabeln mit algebraischen Zahlencoeffizienten in solchen ganzen oder gebrochenen Zahlen zu lösen, die in dem durch die Coefficienten bestimmten algebraischen Rationalitätsbereiche gelegen sind." - Hilbert, 1900

The use of "variable" to denote an "unknown" is a very old practice that predates computers and programming languages.

Yes sure, I didn't mean otherwise, but I just wanted to express doubts about Euler already doing so. Hilbert is already one century forward.
