Symbolic Derivatives Without List Processing, Subroutines, or Recursion A routine has been developed which computes and prints out the symbolic derivative of an absolutely continuous elementary function of one or several variables. No use is made of list-processing languages. The chain rule is applied and the result is edited to produce results as elegant and efficient as those obtained by hand computation. A subset may be imbeded in a formula translator to introduce a differentiation operator into an "algebraic" programming language. CACM August, 1965 Smith, P. J.
