== Notable features == Expressions in MATH-MATIC could contain numeric exponents, including decimals and fractions, by way of a custom typewriter.<ref>Sammet (1969) p. 135</ref> MATH-MATIC programs could include [[inline assembler]] sections of [[ARITH-MATIC]] code and [[UNIVAC I|UNIVAC]] machine code.<ref>Sammet (1969) p. 137</ref> The [[UNIVAC I]] had only 1000 words of memory, and the successor [[UNIVAC II]] as little as 2000. MATH-MATIC allowed for larger programs, automatically generating code to read [[Overlay (programming)|overlay]] segments from [[UNISERVO]] tape as required. The compiler attempted to avoid splitting loops across segments.<ref>Sammet (1969) p. 137</ref>
