60 Citations1963Warren S. Brown

This is the first of two papers on the ALPAK system for nonnumerical algebra on a digital computer and the use and the implementation of the algebraic operations relating to polynomials in several variables and truncated power series with polynomial coefficients.

SIAM ReviewThe Computer and Information Sciences: A New Basic Discipline

50 Citations1963Saul Gorn

To justify the beliefs and attitudes just expressed, a new basic discipline is emerging which might be called "The Computer and Information Sciences", which makes application of concepts from the traditional fields of mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, psychology, engineering, management science, library science.
