OSTI ID:5841351
Research on ways to organize a body of numerical procedures in such a way that they may be invoked automatically by processes which accept symbolic and algebraic specifications from a user, and produce combined symbolic, numeric and graphical output is described. Efforts are made to make these algebraic systems as flexible and useful as possible in this context, and to integrate them successfully into a man-machine design which provides operating system, language, and algorithm support. Various aspects of this research are reviewed including languages for symbolic algebra systems, programming environments, numerical software, numeric/symbolic programs, floating point hardware, elementary functions, Macsyma distribution, VAX/Macsyma/computer architecture, interactive systems, Lisp language, and advanced computer concepts (supercomputers). The computing environment for this research are UNIX-VAX-11/780, Vax 11/750, and Motorola 68000 systems. 32 refs. (DWL)
