Abstract
This report describes Version 1.0 of ALADDIN, an interactive computational
toolkit for the matrix and nite element analysis of engineering systems. The ALADDIN
package is designed around a language speci cation, that includes quantities with physical
units, branching constructs, and looping constructs. The basic language functionality is
enhanced with external libraries of matrix and nite element functions.
ALADDIN's problem solving capabilities are demonstrated via the solution to a
series of matrix and numerical analysis problems. ALADDIN is employed in the nite
