ABSTRACT
Many scientific problems require mathematical modeling and symbolic derivation to produce formulas which are evaluated numerically. Computer algebra systems can be used effectively in the symbolic derivation phase and subsequently to generate numerical code. This paper describes the design of the GENTRAN code generation facility for REDUCE.
