Trial and Error and Approximation an Arithmetic*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
Some years ago there was a vogue for a series of books dealing imaginatively with the future and bearing such titles as Daedalus, or the Future of Science, Icarus, or the Future of Flying, and the like. I do not recall whether arithmetic was among the topics considered by the ingenious authors, but a further title, Archimedes, or the Future of Calculation, might certainly have been suggested by the developments of modern arithmometers.
