FORTRAN is readily feasible to translation into ALGOL since
they share many common features. Most of the features that are
unique to FORTRAN can be translated by restricting them somewhat.
The translator will handle explicit declarations of each item
in a block, compensate for the differences in various operators,
compensate...
The author investigates a FORTRAN program designed to find
all solutions of two nonlinear polynomial equations in two unknowns.
For the method of Sylvester to be a method adaptable to a
general purpose solver in this area, it will be necessary to have
multiple precision capability combined with a much...
