Get the pdf file and start scanning, e.g., on page 54:

Backus (1978), the father of FORTRAN, has' extensively examined
this
problem and has proposed the new language "fp." It Current research
indicates "fp" will be advantageous for 'IIIlny kinds of
programming
tasks,. especially symbolic manipulation, but "fp" has a
significant
disadvantage in the awkwardness of its expression.

"fp" means functional programming.
