Abstract
The advent of computing in a remote-terminal time-sharing context permits the user to interact more directly with the computer in attacking his problem. Moreover, certain standard problems of numerical analysis (e.g., least-squares approximations, locating zeroes of functions, etc.) arise in science and engineering with sufficient frequency to suggest, in view of remote-terminal capability, the development of interactive computer systems to aid in the application of mathematical analysis. Such a system is AMTRAN (for Automatic Mathematical TRANslation), being developed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center under the direction of Dr. Robert N. Seitz[1].
远程终端分时环境下计算的出现允许用户在解决问题时更直接地与计算机交互。此外，数值分析的某些标准问题(例如，最小二乘近似，函数零点定位等)在科学和工程中出现的频率足够高，因此，鉴于远程终端的能力，建议开发交互式计算机系统来帮助数学分析的应用。这样一个系统就是AMTRAN(自动数学翻译)，由NASA的马歇尔太空飞行中心在Robert N. Seitz博士的指导下开发[1]。
