Extract

The little paragraph with the above title on page 170 of the Mathematical Gazette has interested me, as I have been able to offer a career to quite a number of girls just leaving school with Higher School Certificate in Mathematics. It has been in mechanised scientific computing. I use the word mechanised rather than mechanical, because the latter may give the false impression of routine and drudgery, whereas the former correctly conveys the fact that mechanical aids are used to lighten the labour.
