The present issue contains a “Forum on Algorithms” dealing with some of the problems which arise in connection with the algorithm policy of the
Communications. Specifically, many ACM members believe that a policy which designates …

Debate is under way concerning the Algorithms section of the Communications. Specifically, there is considerable sentiment in favor of also publishing algorithms in languages other than ALGOL.

For the nonprogrammer, difficulty in using a language increases rapidly with the number of nonproblem-oriented conventions. A simple language, even if inelegant, which considers the user's background as part of the problem may …

The use of the Kleene regular expression notation for describing algebraic language syntax, in particular of ALGOL, is described in this paper. A FORTRAN II computer program for carrying out the elimination algorithm of Gorn, …

It has always been obvious that the aid to calculation offered by the computer forces a change in the curricula of mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering and other courses. Not so obvious are the many pedagogic aids the …

A process for fitting a curve to approximate data and the problem it creates for the engineer-programmer is defined. An approach has also been defined and a system has been written for the SRU 1107 to mechanize a major portion …
