which satisfies the needs of the broadest spectrum of data processing applications. COBOL i s s o
close to English syntax that it can easily be read and understood by management, systems, and
accounting personnel.
As a result, close coordination between management and computer appli-
cation i s both practical and efficient.
COBOL
is
well suited to creating and processing information contained in data files. In contrast,
ALGOL provides an excellent means for expressing the mathematics and logic associated with
scientific applications.
ALGOL was developed by an international group prompted by a growing interest in a standardized
notation for numerical methods f o r computers.
ALGOL (ALGOrithmic Language) has proved to be f a r superior to any of i t s predecessors and has
enjoyed the f i r s t widespread acceptance and respect accorded a computer language. ALGOL no-
tations a r e gaining acceptance internationally in numerical methods, text-books and university
classes.
TABSOL, the language of decision making, resulted from a need f o r a language that could solve an
unwieldy number of sequential decisions, without involving extensive data file processing o r pro-
found mathematics.
