1. A system within a main office for managing data comprising:
- a computer system;
a database; and
an interface,the main office retaining at least one access rule and a set of mathematical equations where each equation is stored as a set of sequential steps within a dimension of the database where each step of the dimension is associated with one of a singe variable and a single mathematical operator that is used in conjunction with variables and mathematical operators of previous steps to generate the equation, the main office in communication with at least one remote office via the interface and the computer system to receive data and to apply the set of mathematical equations to the received data, where the main office sends the at least one access rule directly to the remote office via the interface, and where the main office receives communications from the remote office that are in conformity with the at least one access rule sent by the main office to the remote office.

Abstract
A system for managing and controlling data. The system includes provisions for easily and rapidly updating and managing a computer system, particularly a complex computer system in which several computers communicate with one another. The system also includes a central database which plays a key role in the management and control of the computer system. Most of the management functions are retained in the central database and remote offices, which generally do not retain data management information, communicate with the central office to retrieve data management information. The system also includes a novel approach to manipulating data.

13. A method for managing data, comprising:
-
storing, via a computer system, mathematical equations in a database including a physical structure at a main office as a set of sequential steps, wherein the mathematical equations are stored within a dimension of the database within the main office where each step of the dimension is associated with one of a single variable and a single mathematical operator that is used in conjunction with variables and mathematical operators of previous steps to generate the equations; sending, via the computer system, the at least one access rule from the main office directly to the remote office; receiving, via the computer system, the data at the main office from at least one remote office, the data being received via communications that are in conformity with the at least one access rule sent from the main office to the remote office; and applying, via the computer system, the set of mathematical equations to the received data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
