. This is very nearly the precise amount really used, but we cannot here enter into the minutiæ of the few particular circumstances which occur in this example (as indeed at some one stage or other of probably most computations) to modify slightly this number.
It will be obvious that the very same seventy-five Variable-cards may be repeated for the computation of every succeeding Number, just on the same principle as admits of the repetition of the thirty-three Variable-cards of Operations (13 ... 23) in the computation of any one Number. Thus there will be a cycle of a cycle of Variable-cards.
If we now apply the notation for cycles, as explained in [Note E], we may express the operations for computing the Numbers of Bernoulli in the following manner:—
Again,
represents the total operations for computing every number in succession, from
to
