"Calculation originally, and over a long period, meant numerical calculation the repertoire of arithmetical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and procedures such as extraction of square roots, which could be applied to arbitrary numbers: integers, fractions, and rational, irrational and transcendental numbers. Subsequent developments of such procedures into powerful methods for the solution of general mathematical problems in numerical terms came to known, in English, as numerical analysis." Ifrah, The universal history of computing, p. 69. DSB, VI, p. 148. First Edition.
