Abstract

This paper is one of three to be presented at a joint meeting of SIGNUM and the ANSI X3J3 Fortran Committee October 18, 1978, for the purpose of communicating suggestions arising in the mathematical software community to the X3J3 Committee. A summary is given of language problem areas and possible solutions that have been discussed by the IFIP Working Group 2.5 on Numerical Software. Also included are some thoughts on control structures due to the author.
