The SAC-1 List Processing System

Abstract

SAC-1 is a computer-independent system for Symbolic and Algebraic Calculation, programmed in Fortran IV (as defined by USASI). The system is especially directed towards efficient performance of large-scale calculatios with multivariate polynomials and rational functions having exact coefficients. The SAC-1 List Processing System is the first of a series of SAC-1 subsystems (seven existing, three nearing completion, others planned). The present report is a new edition, with some corrections and minor changes, of the original report of July 1967.
