Scratchpad(ID:2728/scr005)

General purpose interactive symbolic maths system 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1971
Published: 1971
Genus: Symbolic
Sammet category: Numerical Scientific

Richard Jenks, Barry Trager, Stephen M. Watt & Robert S. Sutor, IBM Research, ca 1971.

General-purpose language originally for interactive symbolic math.

It features abstract parametrized datatypes, multiple inheritance and polymorphism.

Intentionally written in LISP to take advantage of the many different algebraic and mathematical systems written in LISP at the time (MATHLAB, CHARIBDYS, SIN etc). Hence the most powerful system at the time because it absorbed them.

Real-time control from JOSS, and workspace from APL
