Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to give an over-all view of the FORMAC language. FORMAC is an experimental programming system designed to permit the manipulation of mathematical expressions. The paper includes a brief description of the FORMAC language and samples of complete FORMAC programs. It should be noted that FORMAC is an experimental program, and that at the present time IBM has no intention of releasing it to their customers.
