APL: AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE MULTI-LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT FOR EDUCATION,
Abstract
The diverse requirements for computing facilities in Education places heavy demands upon available resources. Multiple or very large computers can supply such diverse needs but this is not a possible solution for many institutions because of cost factors. Small computers which serve a few specific needs may be an economical answer. However, to follow this second approach in an attempt to serve operationally a significant segment of students, the multiplicity of computer installations with their operations staffing requirements will probably prove to be a false economy. A programming language, or 'APL' as it is commonly known, is examined as an alternative to this dilemma facing the computing center director. (Author)
