Abstract

For years, Chinese research workers have noticed that there are systems for symbol manipulation and formula manipulation abroad. But use of computers in China is later. In early years, only assemblers, ALGOL, BASIC and FORTRAN languages were used, which were not suited to help manipulate formulas. Someone has considered extending FORTRAN by manipulation functions. Many people hope to use LISP language and some formula manipulation languages.
