The numerical solution of Integral equations with variable upper limits has been investigated by Professor Whittaker. In this investigation the nucleus, supposed to be given numerically by a table of single entry, is replaced by an approximate expression consisting of a finite number of terms, each term involving an exponential or simply a power of the variable, and then the solution is found as an analytical expression from which its numerical values may be computed. The numerical solution of integral equations with fixed limits has been discussed by H. Bateman.
