The conferees discussed a num-

a joint eommunique, the informal

the experiences exchanged between

concensus was that it would be
very desirable to arrange similar

may be disproportionately time
consuming. and work is therefore
in progress to Streanlline this
part of the operation. primarily
through completing an extensive
series of standard programs which
then may be combined to fit the

minimize the difficulty is obvious
ly to teach more people how to

course was given at which some
fifty mathematicians learned the

At the present time, the capa-
