MECHO: Year One

This is a progress report on the MECHO project originally announced in D.A.I. Working Paper No. 8, Bundy, Luger and Stone, 1975. The project is to write a computer program which can solve mechanics problems stated in English. This is motivated by a desire to understand how it is possible to form a mathematical model of a real world situation. A problem, typical of those solved by our program, is given and the natural language analysis, equation extraction and the solution of the problem discussed.
