Abstract: The textbook "Introduction to Algol" by Baumann, Feliciano, Bauer, and Samelson describes the internationally recognized language ALGOL 60 for algorithm communication. ALGOL W can be viewed as an extension of ALGOL. This document consists of (1) "Algol W Deck Set-Up" [by E.H. Satterthwaite, Jr.]; (2) "Algol W Language Description" [by Henry R. Bauer, Sheldon Becker, and Susan L. Graham], a complete syntactic and semantic description of the language; (3) "Algol W Error Messages" [by Henry R. Bauer, Sheldon Becker, and Susan L. Graham]; (4) "Algol W Notes for Introductory Computer Science Courses" [by Henry R. Bauer, Sheldon Becker, and Susan L. Graham] which describes the differences tween ALGOL 60 and ALGOL W and presents the new features of ALGOL W; and (5) "Notes on Number Representation on System/360 and relations to Algol W" [by George E. Forsythe].
