This claim is based on what is certainly an erroneous computation of Van Curler's miles' travel, but particularly on the location on Van der Donck's map of Carenay directly north of a small lake now in the town of Duane, Schenectady County.
As Van Curler traveled "on the ice" for the most considerable part of the way from Onekagoncka, and followed necessarily the bend in the river and diverged at times from the shore line, exact computation of his miles cannot be made.
Where, aside from a fair computation of his miles' travel, did he cross?
The annuities covered by this computation have from one to twenty-seven years to run (the average term being about seven years), and embrace almost every variety of goods and services which human ingenuity could suggest.

No computation of their number can be made, for few of them dare avow their heresy, on account of the persecution which is the invariable result.
The only thing for which Boturini may be censured, if the Mexicans had no knowledge of that cycle, and did not use it, was the ascribing of it to them as being in common use for the computation of the greater periods of time.
Neither the Mexican nor Toltecan authors, nor those who corrected the chronological system for the computation of time, ever used it, nor had their writers any knowledge of its existence.
When in every single instance a multitude, often an unknown multitude, of agencies, are clashing and combining, what security have we that in our computation a priori we have taken all these into our reckoning?
In this computation it is of course supposed that the probabilities arising from A and C are independent of each other.
The computation of their perturbations and ephemerides by Euler's and Lagrange's method of variable elements became so laborious that Encke devised a special process for these, which can be applied to many other disturbed orbits.
In general, the correlation between ability in any one important feature of computation and ability in any other important feature of computation is high.
The first concerns the use of computation and problems merely for discipline,--that is, the emphasis on training in reasoning regardless of whether the problem is otherwise worth reasoning about.
Specimens taken at random from the computationwork of eighth-grade pupils.
The connections between the total described situation and the answer obtained, supposing some considerable computation to intervene, is a bond that we let expire almost as soon as it is born.
The scores of ten 6 B classes in a 12-minute test in computation with integers (the Courtis Test 7).
The computation of the area of a rectangle is best facilitated, not by awareness of the lack of a process for doing it, but by awareness of the success of the process as verified objectively.
The data of problems set to illustrate a principle or improve some habit of computation are, of course, the clearest cases.
Following this period come certain pages of computation to be used by the teacher at her discretion, containing 17 XOX multiplications.
Also, using a light pen on a recomputed display is especially difficult because the inverse computation has to be performed in order to maintain proper correlation with the original data.
The 925, without wired multiplication or floating-point operations, was too slow for theoretical computation or for many types of data analysis such as those using Monte Carlo methods.
Computation shows that the amount of this action should be great enough gradually to lengthen the day, or the time occupied by the earth in making a complete revolution on the polar axis.
By skilful computation the place in the heavens in which this disturbing element lay was so accurately determined that when the telescope was turned to the given field a brief study revealed the planet.
Nothing else in the history of the science of astronomy, unless it be the computation of eclipses, so clearly and popularly shows the accuracy of the methods by which the work of that science may be done.
Once again supposing the earth to be all ocean covered, computation shows that the tides in such a sea would be very broad waves, having, indeed, a diameter of half the earth's circumference.
Computation shows that the measure of flattening at the poles is just what would occur if the earth were or had been at the time when it assumed its present form in a fluid condition.
This is the computation followed by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in his great work on Roman antiquities.
Timaeus, about the time of Ptolemy Philadelphus, was the first who digested the events recorded by these ancient historians, according to a computation of the Olympiads(75).
The former computation was Old Style, the latter New Style, the Old being ten days behind the new.
You have just shown by computation that October, 1582, commenced on Monday, you now say that it occurred on Friday.
Now there is an error somewhere, for it is found by actual computation that the discrepancy between the solar and the Julian year is about three days in 400 years.
But there is a point from which all computation originally commenced, namely, the creation of man.
All these commence computation from the same point, but differ in regard to the time which has elapsed since their computation commenced.
Footnote 73: This computation is not very different from that which M.
But I saw not well how to wave it, without making theComputation much more perplex'd.
But the Computation before given, I take to be of better use than this Representation in Figure.
From whence the Eccentricity of the Moon, and the second Equation of her Apogee may be computed after the manner of the following (which takes place also in the Computation of any other intermediate Equations).
It may perhaps be useful to give an Example of the Computation of this Rule, which may seem difficult to some.
And for convenience of computation and reference, he has been in the habit of symbolizing it by a volcano.
Now, from actual measurements, a computation has been made by M.
As has been said, there seems to be no method of making any complete computation of the magnitude of the privateer fleet at any one time.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "computation" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
