Problem oriented programming languages as they have developed over
the last ten years essentially serve two purposes which somewhat
crudely can be described by the terms man-man communication and
man-machine communication, respectively. As a carrier of
information between humans, the problem oriented programming
language is designed to express the essence of an algorithm in a
way which is un ambiguous and concise as well as independent of
(and therefore meaning ful without any reference to) the changing
details of computing machine ry. As a carrier of information from
man to computer, the language permits the human programmer to
express his computational needs in a compact way adapted to the
general characteristics of computers, but freed from the burdening
details of specific computer facilities. This presupposes the
existence of algorithms, or programs, which permit the computer
itself to transform efficiently programs written in the problem
oriented language into machine programs. Thus the entire computing
community profits from the work of the individual programmer. The
primary purpose of the Handbook is to present a set of algorithms
of broad utility from the domain of numerical mathematics written
in the problem oriented language ALGOL 60. Therefore, volumes I a
and I b are in a sense supplementary as they serve to introduce
this language. Volume I a gives a description of the language
proper and of its use for writing correct programs. Thus, volume I
a primarily covers the aspect of man-man communication by means of
ALGOL 60.
