Abstract

The purpose of this note is to give another illustration of the fact that the best way for a human being to represent or process information is not necessarily the best way for a computer. The example concerns the use of a table of inverse Laplace transforms within a program, written in the REDUCE language [1] for symbolic algebraic manipulation, which solves linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients using Laplace transform methods. (See [2] for discussion of an earlier program which solved such equations.)
