or "mechanical" methods for finding results (which could also be expressed as solutions (values) to formulae). These methods were so called because they could‚ in principle‚ be performed by simple machines (or human-computers or human-calculators‚ to use Turing’s unfortunate phrases). The emphasis was on finiteness : a finite number of instructions‚ a finite number of symbols in each instruction‚ a finite number of steps to the result. This is why these methods were usable by humans without the aid

It was defeat in war which was the main reason for the February revolution. Do you agree with this statement?

Certain authors‚ such as Bellamy‚ would argue advancements and use of machinery is necessary to push society to a better‚ brighter future.
