Abstract
The rapid growth, over the last two decades, of the amount of digital arithmetic capability available for a given cost is obvious to all, and is apparently not yet at an end. Therefore, any discussion of the best equipment and even of the best algorithms with which to attack a given problem will soon become obsolete as decreasing costs bring things previously considered inconceivable within economic feasibility. The general trend is that, as the cost of hardware decreases, the discussions of algorithms and procedures becomes simpler, as fewer approximations have to be made, and the mathematically simple correct formulae may be directly implemented.
