   2.  A program by Doug Lenat to
   discover concepts in elementary mathematics.  AM was written
   in 1976 in Interlisp.  From 100 fundamental concepts and
   about 250 heuristics it discovered several important
   mathematical concepts including subsets, disjoint sets, sets
   with the same number of elements, and numbers.  It worked by
   filling slots in frames maintaining an agenda of
   resource-limited prioritised tasks.

   AM's successor was Eurisko.
