T.A.L.C. is a general-purpose calculator designed to evaluate
a general algebraic equation, given all quantities involved
in the equation. In effect, T.A.L.C. turns any of the family-
of-eight computers into a powerful desk calculator capable
of evaluating complex algebraic, trigonometric, and logarthmic
functions. In addition, T.A.L.C. utilizes the concept
of "idiot-proofing" to virtually eliminate the possibility of an
operator error invalidating the equation. Thus, T.A.L.C. is
easy to use and presents unlimited possibilities in any field
where fast and accurate calculations are required.
