Abstract :
Three papers [3],[9],[11] have described a numerical geometry system jointly implemented by IBM and Teledyne-Ryan Aeronautical in San Diego. They devoted attention specifically to the overall program structure and system capabilities. The present paper discusses this system from a point of view at the mathematical and algorithmic levels.
