Synopsis:

This book develops an intricate system of coding and flow-diagramming designed to facilitate the electronic computation of numerical problems. The author argues that the coding of a problem for a machine is fundamentally a logical problem, an idea which forms the core of this text. The book delves into concepts like ?simple induction?, ?multiple induction?, and ?inductions in induction?, outlining the iterative processes that drive these ideas. The author also establishes an array of new symbols designed to represent the various coding procedures, thereby providing a detailed framework for translating mathematical problems into precisely coded electronic instructions. In doing so, the author makes a case for understanding the coding process as a highly dynamic, constantly shifting series of operations, rather than a static translation.
