Overview

Excerpt from On the Use of Equivalent Numbers in the Method of Least Squares It is scarcely necessary to remark, that the subject _is plainly one which is in its nature somewhat vague and insusceptible of rigorous treatment, though it is at the same time interesting from its practical bearings. If no very precise or definite rules for regulating the degree of numerical exactness suited to the discussion of any given problem can be arrived at, it may still be of service to point out the principles which ought to guide the computer in the choice of such limits as shall perfectly meet all reasonable requirements of accuracy, without imposing upon him the unprofitable labor of multiplying the extent and difficulties of calculation, to no useful purpose, and without the remotest prospect of sensibly improving the real value of the results.
