Abstract: In mathematics, a sequence of sentences describes how to solve a problem; for instance, sentences, gCalculate the least common multiple of 10 and 15. Firstly divide 10 and 15 by 2. Results are e5f and ecannot dividef. e5f and ecannot dividef are not 1 and 1. Divide 5 and 15 by 2. Results are ecannot dividef and ecannot dividef.h and so on, describe how to calculate the least common multiple of 10 and 15. While example sequences of sentences are given to our program, the program transforms the example sequences to generate a procedure, pG, to solve a problem. For instance, a generated procedure, pGp, checks if a given number is a prime number, another procedure, pGc, calculates the least common multiple of any two numbers, and another procedure, pGf, adds given two fractions. This paper explains our program that generates procedures, one after another, each of which solves one mathematical problem. The paper also argues, as a result of generating a pro!
cedure, pG, the meaning of a sentence (or sentences) is represented in the generated procedure, pG.
