The purpose of this book is to provide background material for teachers and students of APL. In a course on APL the focus is necessarily on the details of the language and its use: it may not always be apparent what the purpose of a particular rule might be nor how one piece of the language relates to the whole. This book is a collection of articles that deal with the more fundamental issues of the language. They appeared in widely scattered sources over a period of many years, and are not always easy to find. They are arranged in the order of their appearance so it is possible to get a sense of the development of the language from reading the articles in sequence.
