Summary

The paper describes in detail an older method than Relaxation of approximating to the solution of equations of the Laplace and Poisson type. The corresponding fourth order equations are discussed briefly, and a method of dealing with certain non-linear equations is indicated. A description is also given of the propagation of errors in the fields due to various causes.
