Solution to problem #7 using MACSYMA

Abstract
The solution to problem 7 [SIGSAM Bulletin vol 8, no. 1 (issue no. 29), Feb., 1974] was obtained in its entirety with the use of MACSYMA [1]. No hand calculations were required. The factorization step, the major cost of the solution, uncovered a poor design decision in the existing factorization program [2]. This program was modified, and the factorization was accomplished in 602 seconds of PDP-10 machine time. Since the modified factorization program produces shorter run-times on almost all of our standard test cases. it is now the standard routine.
