Carlo Vandoni's home page SIGMA (System for Interactive Graphical Mathematical Applications), system entirely designed at CERN, specifically to cope with the computing needs of mathematicians and theoretical physicists, developed in strict collaboration with senior physicists in the TH Division. The basic concepts of the system have to be regarded as being rather advanced for 1970, and it may be of some interest to note that some of its principles, like the automatic handling of multi-dimensional arrays have been taken over by FORTRAN 90 and Mathematica. The SIGMA system was extensively used at CERN, and it has been installed in over 25 Universities and Laboratories around the world.
