Abstract: In the past there was a trade ofV between accuracy and speed in scientific and engineering calculations. Approximations were developed when the more accurate methods could not be used due lo their complexity and time limitations. And balance was established between the more accurate solutions anti the faster approximations, which was necessary and useful when selecting the method of calculation to be used. The method that gave the highest accuracy and still observed the time constraint was used. The high speed, memory capacity, and logic ability of the modern digital computer has forced a change in this balance of accuracy versus speed. The complex calculation procedure can now be finished within a short time period using the computer. After programming, the entire procedure can be handled with speed, ease, and confidence. There is now considerable emphasis on the more accurate forms of calculation. The application of computers to scientific and engineering problems changes the balance so as to encourage the use of the more accurate procedure.
