Contents:
Summary: "Approximations for Digital Computers" by Cecil Hastings Jr., Jeanne T. Wayward, and James P. Wong Jr., originally published in 1955 and re-released by the Princeton Legacy Library, is a significant work in numerical analysis. This book compiles Hastings' previously circulated approximations for digital computers, making them accessible to a wider audience. Hastings introduced a novel approach that combines mathematical precision with intuitive judgment, resulting in approximations that are notably simpler than those derived from traditional methods. The book is divided into two parts: the first part introduces a collection of useful approximations, while the second part provides carefully constructed error curves for each approximation. This approach enables practitioners to understand both the application and the accuracy of these approximations. The book was well-received by numerical analysts and computer operators for providing practical tools and methods and remains a valuable resource for those working in numerical analysis and scientific computing, offering a unique approach to developing approximations by combining mathematical rigor with practical efficiency.
