Numerical analysts and computer operators in all fields will welcome this publication in book form of Cecil Hastings' well-known approximations for digital computers, formerly issued in loose sheets and available only to a limited number of specialists. In a new method that combines judgment and intuition with mathematics, Mr. Hasting has evolved a set of approximations which far surpasses in simplicity earlier approximations developed by conventional methods. Part I of this book introduces the collection of useful and illustrative approximations, each of which is presented with a carefully drawn error curve in Part II. Originally published in 1955. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The object of the work was to investigate the feasibility of using polynomial approximation techniques for the digital solution of air data formulae. Least square methods were used to obtain polynomial approximations to the air data formulae for height, Mach number, indicated airspeed and true airspeed, these approximations being suitable for evaluation using nested multiplication, which is compatible with digital computer techniques. The results indicate that this method of computation could form the basis for a digital air data computer. (Author).

This monograph deals with the subject of best approximation in the sense of Chebyshev as applied to the problem of making univariate functional data available to the high-speed digital computing machine. Our investigation is of a numerical and empirical nature. Part I of this book serves as an introduction to the collection of approximations given in Part II. Part II contains the "Approximations for Digital Computers," formerly issued as a cumulative publication of loose sheets and made available to numerical analysts upon request. Each sheet of the seventy-odd issued in this series contains an approximation of a useful or illustrative nature presented with a carefully drawn error curve
