Abstract: This paper describes a computer system learning to solve simultan-eous linear equations by examining examples. The system creates a seriesof productions from examples. These rules are stored in productionmemory and become a set of knowledge for solving equations, thusachieving the goal of learning. Almost all good equations could be solvedby 15 productions that are created by the system in a run section.Creating and applying productions are also general forms of humanlearning and problem solving. So the study of computer learning wouldfurther help us in the understanding of the psychological mechanism ofhuman learning and problem solving.
