ALGOL W can be viewed as an extension of ALGOL. This document consists of (1) "Algol W Notes for Introductory Computer Science Courses" [by Henry R. Bauer, Sheldon Becker, and Susan L. Graham] which describes the differences between ALGOL 60 and ALGOL W and presents the new features of ALGOL W; (2) "Deck Set-Up"; (3) "Algol W Language Description" [by Henry R.
