Extract

Many problems in physics, chemistry and other subjects give rise to differential equations which are difficult or impossible to treat mathematically. It has long been possible to obtain numerical solutions by arithmetic methods, and the development of adding and multiplying machines to their present state of perfection has made these much simpler to carry out. The amount of work involved is, however, still very great.
