Thanks to the Packard Pediatric Weight Control Program, Alberto had a whole care team, including his mom, not just behind him, but beside him. Together at every class, the team champions lifelong healthy habits: wisdom that families can take home, to the market, or anywhere. Far more than quick-fi x calorie counting or weight loss, our approach is not just livable, it’s contagious. Alberto’s Mom lost 12 pounds herself.

  • Is Ja Dialect of APL? Reported by Jonathan Barman Eugene Mcdonnell - the Question Is Irrelevant
    VICTOR Vol.8 No.2 convert the noun back to verb and as a result various interesting control structures can be created. The verbal nouns thus formed can be put into arrays and some of the benefits that various people have suggested might arise from arrays of functions can be obtained. A design goal is to make compilation possible without limiting the expressive power of J. APL Technology of Computer Simulation, by A Boozin and I Popselov reported by Sylvia Camacho Both authors of this paper are academic mathematicians and their use of APL is just where one might expect it to be: in modelling linear differential equations and stochastic Markovian processes. Questions put showed that they first used APL 15 years ago on terminals to what was described as 'a big old computer'. Currently they use APL*PLUS/PC. They have set up an environment in which they can split the screen and display data graphically with some zoom facilities. This environment can be used in conjunction with raw APL while exploring the results of a model, or can be used in conjunction with data derived from APL or some other source. In fact it is often used by Pascal programmers. Most recently they have been setting up economic models to try to come to terms with the consequences of decentralisation and privatisation. They use both Roman and Cyrillic alphabets. Panel: Is Ja Dialect of APL? reported by Jonathan Barman Eugene McDonnell - The question is irrelevant. Surely proponents of J would not be thrown out of the APL community? Garth Foster - J is quite definitely not APL.

  • K.E.Iverson and APL.J
    K.E.Iverson Kenneth Iverson Charismatic mathematician who invented the APL computer programming language A GIFTED mathematician and a charismatic teacher, Ken Iverson made a highly influential contribution to the field of computer science. In the early 1960s a mathematical notation which he had developed as an aide to teaching algebra formed the basis of APL, one of the languages used in programming IBM’s early mainframe computer, the System/360. This concise and powerful language contributed substantially to IBM’s domination of the emerging computer industry during the 1960s and 1970s. Kenneth Eugene Iverson was born in Camrose, Alberta, Canada, in 1920. He demonstrated an early aptitude for mathematics ― he taught himself calculus in his teens. During the Second World War he served in the Royal Canadian Air Force as a flight engineer specialising in reconnaissance. After the war he obtained a degree in mathematics and physics from Queen’s University, Ontario, and went on to postgraduate study at Harvard where, in 1954, he obtained a doctorate in applied mathematics, and from 1955 to 1960 he was assistant professor of applied mathematics. During this period he developed a novel way of teaching algebra to students, the “Iverson notation”. It attracted the interest of IBM, which was already well established in commercial and scientific computing fields and was developing a new mainframe, the System/360. IBM recruited Iverson and three colleagues to turn his teaching notation into a program- ming language which could be used on the System/360. The result, expounded in his book A Programming Language (1962), came to be known as APL.

  • The Computational Attitude in Music Theory
    The Computational Attitude in Music Theory Eamonn Bell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Eamonn Bell All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Computational Attitude in Music Theory Eamonn Bell Music studies’s turn to computation during the twentieth century has engendered particular habits of thought about music, habits that remain in operation long after the music scholar has stepped away from the computer. The computational attitude is a way of thinking about music that is learned at the computer but can be applied away from it. It may be manifest in actual computer use, or in invocations of computationalism, a theory of mind whose influence on twentieth-century music theory is palpable. It may also be manifest in more informal discussions about music, which make liberal use of computational metaphors. In Chapter 1, I describe this attitude, the stakes for considering the computer as one of its instruments, and the kinds of historical sources and methodologies we might draw on to chart its ascendance. The remainder of this dissertation considers distinct and varied cases from the mid-twentieth century in which computers or computationalist musical ideas were used to pursue new musical objects, to quantify and classify musical scores as data, and to instantiate a generally music-structuralist mode of analysis. I present an account of the decades-long effort to prepare an exhaustive and accurate catalog of the all-interval twelve-tone series (Chapter 2). This problem was first posed in the 1920s but was not solved until 1959, when the composer Hanns Jelinek collaborated with the computer engineer Heinz Zemanek to jointly develop and run a computer program.

  • How We Got to APL\1130
    How We Got To APL\1130 by Larry Breed APLBUG at CHM, 10 May 2004 APL\1130 was implemented overnight in the autumn of 1967, but it took years of effort to make that possible. In 1965, Ken Iverson’s group in Yorktown was wrestling with the transition from Iverson Notation, a notation suited for blackboards and printed pages, to a machine-executable programming environment. Iverson had already developed a Selectric typeball and was writing a high-school math textbook. By autumn 1965, Larry Breed and Stanford grad student Philip Abrams had written the first implementation in 7090 Fortran (with batch execution). Eugene McDonnell was looking for applications to run on TSM, his project’s experimental time-sharing system on a virtual-memory 7090. With his help, Breed ported the Fortran code, added I/O routines for the 1050 terminals, called the result IVSYS; and Iverson Notation went interactive. Iverson, Breed and other associates now faced issues of input and output, function definition, error handling, suspended execution, and workspaces. They also struggled with both extending the notation to multidimensional arrays and new primitives, and limiting it to what could reasonably be implemented. Whatever it was, it wasn’t “APL”; that name came later. Iverson was also collaborating with John Lawrence of Science Research Associates (SRA), an IBM subsidiary in Chicago aimed at educational markets. Lawrence had been editor of the IBM Systems Journal when it published the Iversonian tour de force “A Formal Description of System/360.” At SRA he was leading a project to make Iverson’s notation the heart of a line of instructional materials, both books and interactive computer applications.

But it does little to introduce APL to outsiders. If you’ve used the Web to explore a new programming language in the last few years, you will have had an experience hard to match with APL. Languages and technologies such as JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, ASP.NET and MySQL offer online reference material, tutorials and user forums.
