About this Item

Print on Demand. This book offers an in-depth exploration of flow diagrams, a precise way of describing computational procedures introduced in 1946. It begins by laying out a set of conventions for their construction and interpretation, allowing readers to create and understand these visual representations of complex calculations. The author emphasizes that these diagrams are not meant to guide computer operation but rather to provide a precise formulation of an abstract computational procedure, independent of specific computing machinery. Flow diagrams are presented as a tool for planning and communicating problem-solving methods, offering a deeper understanding of the sequencing and interconnections of computational steps. The book also discusses methods for assessing the significance of calculations, providing valuable insights into the accuracy and reliability of numerical results. Through detailed explanations and examples, this book aims to equip readers with the knowledge and techniques to effectively utilize flow diagrams and enhance their problem-solving capabilities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
