                                                                        To the Chairman of Siberian Branch

                                                                          Of the USSR Academy of Science

                                    Dear Mikhail Alekseevich!

 

As is well known, February 3 through 6, 1970, in Akademgorodok the 2nd All-Union
Conference on Programming will be taking place with participation of foreign
scientists. Among foreign scientists notified of this Conference there is a well-known
Dutch scientist, director of Mathematical center in Amsterdam, Professor A. Van
Wijngaarden.

In his letter addressed to the Organizing committee chairman A.P. Ershov he
conveyed his interest in the Conference but made it clear that he would like to be
invited as the USSR Academy of Sciences guest.

We consider that we ought to comply with Prof. VanWijngaarden request.

Professor vanWijngaarden is a well-known specialist in computational mathematics
and programming languages. The Mathematical center under his direction is one of
the first European computing centers and is famous for its works in computational
mathematics and programming. Prof. Van Wijngaarden is a leading author of an
international Algol 68 programming language. Development of a programming
system for this language is one of the main works of the Computing Center. Therefore
Prof. VanWijngaarden’s visit will allow obtaining valuable information concerning
the works in Algol 68 language.

In view of the above, the SBAS USSR Computing Center requests to send along to
Prof. vanWijngaarden an official invitation to visit the USSR for 12 days as a USSR
AS Siberian Branch guest in order to participate in the 2nd All-Union Conference in
Programming and to discuss with the Computing Center colleagues the issues of
Algol 68 language implementation, with all the expenses incurred by his stay in the
USSR covered by the SBAS USSR Computing Center.

 

Director of the SBAS USSR

Computing Center,

Academician

                                                                        G.I. Marchuk
