Description: "ALGOL has found interest throughout the computing community. The defining report was not intended to be a primer, however, since its aim of strict syntactic and semantic description did not allow this. This book is intended to give a needed introduction to ALGOL, which should enable the nonspecialist, for whose benefit ALGOL was primarily conceived, to write clear and readable ALGOL programs from which a reasonable translator will produce efficient machine codes." --Preface, page v.
Notes: Bibliographical footnotes.
"Appendix: Revised report on the algorithmic language ALGOL 60, by J. W. Backus [and others]": p. 97-132.
