Extract

In an earlier paper (Aitken, 1932) the author put forward a method of polynomial interpolation which was designed to make full use of the speed and power of modern calculating machines in forming and summing products of two factors. The present paper is devoted to two further applications of the method. It is necessary to give a brief review and explanation of the process used, in order that these applications may be properly understood.
