Excerpt from New York University Compiler System<br><br>Why automatic programing? One motivation perhaps may be a scarcity of competent programmers for the solution of problems, which, Dr. Wilkes) suggests, may be due in turn to the fact that once programmers achieve competence they become more interested in developing automatic program ming techniques than in solving problems. In any event, the desire, and perhaps the need, to increase the degree of automatization in programing is very much with us and should be met. It is also in our interest to devise means by which the programing and coding for our machine (a Univac) can be reduced in its complexity; and need for attention to detail, with a view toward making the machine available to persons whose primary interest is not in the machine but in the problem.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
