“…Then we will give a more detailed description of each system. An interesting survey paper is that by Ruyle et al (1967); however, the paper is confined (by choice) to four systems: AMTRAN, the Culler-Fried System, the Lincoln Reckoner, and MAP. Some of the following remarks are based on the paper by Ruyle et al (1967).…”

“…TOC (Tact On-line Computer) was begun in 1966 at the Aiken Computation Laboratory of Harvard University, see Ruyle et al (1967). TOC was developed by Project TACT (Technological Aids to Creative Thought) and is based on two earlier stages of development.…”

“…AMTRAN (Automatic Mathematical TRANslation system) was initially developed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, and has been available to users since early 1966, see Wood et al (I966), Reinfelds et al (1966), and Ruyle et al (1967). AMTRAN was inspired by the Culler-Fried system and retains many similarities, especially the use of function buttons.…”

“…The Lincoln Reckoner system has been in routine use by the staff of the Lincoln Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology since the spring of 1966, see Stowe et al (1966), Wiesen et al (1967), and Ruyle et al (1967). The Reckoner system, designed to operate within the APEX time-sharing system for the TX-2 computer, is for on-line use in scientific and engineering research.…”

“…The MAP (Mathematical Analysis Program) system has been in use by researchers and for teaching at Massachusetts Institute of Technology since the middle of 1964, see Ruyle et al (1967) and Kaplow et al (1966a, b). The system operates within the MIT Compatible Time Sharing System (CTSS) at the MIT Computation Center.…”

Extant, extinct, and proposed systems for performing interactive mathematics are surveyed, with special attention to those systems with graphical output. The systems are grouped as general purpose graphical, special purpose graphical, and other systems of interest. The solution of a least squares data-fitting problem by the various general purpose graphical systems is then compared to the solution of the same problem by PEG, a special purpose graphmal system for interactive least squares data-fitting, written at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. A summary inelude~ a discussion of many of the references that appear in the fairly comprehensive bibliography.
