Language Input for a Computer Problem Solving System. As
stated in the Abstract: "The STUDENT problem solving
system, programmed in LISP, accepts as input a comfortable
but restricted subset of English which can express a wide
variety of algebra story problems. STUDENT finds the
solution to a large class of these problems. STUDENT can
utilize a store of global information not specific to any one
problem, and may make assumptions about the interpretation
of ambiguities in the wording of the problem being solved."
