Bohlender’s Pascal extension

Bohlender s Pascal extension (14) particularly well exemplifies these considerations. Numerical linear algebra using the native Pascal matrix representation is handled cleanly and succinctly. 

Much of numerical computation in chemistry revolves about numerical multilinear algebra. By this term I denote the manipulation of arrays whose dimension may exceed two. Mindful of Richard and Ledgard s admonition (16) that language design should never be overly ambitious, I propose only data structures, operations, and syntax for programming multilinear algebra. Multilin exceeds Bohlender s Pascal extension in two ways its provision for more than two dimensions, and its explicit declaration of data representations.
