FORMAC, acronym of FORmula MAnipulation Compiler, is an extension of FORTRAN. It was developed by Jean E. Sammet.

The additional capabilities of FORMAC permit direct computation, manipulation, and use of functions of advanced mathematics which can only be done indirectly and approximately in FORTRAN.[1]
