Ida (ed.) ``The Second Fuji International Workshop on Functional and Logic Programming'', Nov. 1-4, Shonan Village, Japan. =month= 12 =abstract= The kernel of the Mathematica language is a higher-order conditional rewrite language with sequence variables. This fact is little known. We derive some conclusions from this for the use of Mathematica as a research tool in the area of rewriting and related areas. =location= 2 =owner= 2 =source= 3
