A programming package for some general modes of arithmetic
Pages 119 - 127
Abstract
An interpretive programming package is described for computation with operands which may be real, complex, single or double precision, or real multiple precision. It also performs operations on matrices formed from these elements. A simple language structure is used to describe the computation.
