Abstract
The motivation for the development of digital simulation languages may be seen by tracing the thoughts of two widely different people preparing to analyze a continuous dynamic system. Both are experienced engineers and mathematicians, but the first is a novice programmer with little or no FORTRAN experience. Both have access to one or more digital computers. The novice's thoughts might be as follows: "I do not know FORTRAN and I'm not really interested in learning it just to solve this problem. I have heard that digital continuous simulation languages are simple and easy to use. I'll try one". The experienced programmer, on the other hand, might think, "I only need a few quick solutions, why bother with a FORTRAN program. I'll use a simulation language for convenience."
