Abstract
To make PROLOG a more powerful and versatile language for scientific/engineering use, two mathematical packages were written. The first is a list/vector/matrix operations package providing a set of elementary operations for list manipulation and vector/matrix algebra. The second package provides the transcendental functions including the trigonometric functions and their inverses, exponential and logarithmic functions, and the mathematical utilities for square roots, absolute value, and modulo arithmetic
