    The System/360 scientific subroutine package is a set of FORTRAN IV subroutines written in a subset of the language so as to be compatible with all FORTRAN processors in the 360 line; it also gives the package a greater degree of machine independence. A superset of SSP/1130, it includes many useful mathematical subroutines in the areas of matrix operation, integration and differentiation, solution of differential equations, Fourier analysis, linear equations, and polynomials. In addition, the routines can be changed from single to double precision fairly easily; the package has uniform documentation including machine-processed flowcharts. All arrays are one-dimensional, and fairly extensive sample programs are included demonstrating the use of the subroutines in various combinations The package is continually being updated to conform to new computing machines and should serve the computing community for some time to come.
