En un mundo cada vez más influenciado por las herramientas computacionales disponibles y la aceleración en el desarrollo de estas, es necesario también incrementar la investigación epistemológica sobre las interacciones entre la matemática y las ciencias de la computación. Por ello se considera relevante estudiar las relaciones entre la habilidad de algoritmizar, el pensamiento matemático, el pensamiento algorítmico y el pensamiento computacional. Sin embargo, múltiples definiciones de pensamiento computacional no incorporan explícitamente al pensamiento algorítmico ni enfatizan su dimensión matemática. La proposición que se plantea en este ensayo científico es que existen relaciones, a veces implícitas, muy importantes entre los conceptos de algoritmización, pensamiento matemático, pensamiento algorítmico y pensamiento computacional. Y el objetivo es identificar las relaciones entre esos conceptos, y con ello fortalecer la literatura científica que busca abordarlos de forma integrada. Se concluye que el pensamiento algorítmico es una parte fundamental del pensamiento computacional, pero también es un tipo de pensamiento matemático; que la habilidad de algoritmizar es básica en la matemática y es fundamental en el pensamiento algorítmico y en el computacional, y que el pensamiento computacional brinda importantes ayudas en la exploración y descubrimiento de la matemática.
