Abstract
Each section of this chapter deals with a particular application of Prolog programming. We suggest that you read all of the sections in this chapter. Do not be concerned if you do not understand the purpose of a program because you are not acquainted with the particular application. For example, only those readers who have been introduced to Calculus will appreciate the value of symbolic differentiation. Read it anyway, because the program for finding symbolic derivatives demonstrates how to use pattern matching to transform one kind of structure (an arithmetic expression) into another one. What is important is to gain an understanding of programming techniques available to the Prolog programmer, regardless of the particular application.
