{{Infobox programming language | name = MATH-MATIC | paradigm = [[imperative programming|imperative]] | year = {{start-date|1957}} | designer = [[Remington Rand]] | influenced_by = [[FLOW-MATIC]] | influenced = [[UNICODE (programming language)]] | platform = [[UNIVAC I]], [[UNIVAC II]] }} '''MATH-MATIC''' is the marketing name for the AT-3 (Algebraic Translator 3) [[compiler]], an early [[programming language]] for the [[UNIVAC I]] and [[UNIVAC II]]. MATH-MATIC was written beginning around 1955 by a team led by [[Charles Katz]] under the direction of [[Grace Hopper]]. A preliminary manual<ref>Ash (1957)</ref> was produced in 1957 and a final manual<ref>Univac (1958)</ref> the following year. Syntactically, MATH-MATIC was similar to Univac's contemporaneous business-oriented language, [[FLOW-MATIC]], differing in providing algebraic-style expressions and floating-point arithmetic, and arrays rather than record structures.
