1. NAME AND TITLE
LAZY: General Experimental Data Processing Program.
2. CONTRIBUTOR
AB
Atomenergi, Stockholm 43, Sweden through the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency Data
Bank, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.
3. CODING LANGUAGE AND COMPUTER
Fortran IV; IBM 360 Series (P00595I036000).
4. NATURE OF PROBLEM SOLVED
In treating experimental data certain problems (curve fitting etc.) repeat themselves with only small variations. LAZY is a general program capable of treating many of these problems and has the following main features:
A - Facilities for tabulation, derivation, integration, least square fitting, calculation of roots and solution of differential equations are built in. The method to be used is chosen on the input list.
B - The function to be treated is given in mathematical notation on the input list. The rules to write this function are fairly general and most of the expressions frequently used can be formed.
5. METHOD OF SOLUTION
None listed.
6. RESTRICTIONS OR LIMITATIONS
None listed.
7. TYPICAL RUNNING TIME
Not provided.
8. COMPUTER HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
IBM 360 (32k memory).
9. COMPUTER SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
IBM 360 Operating System.
