- notes for SICP and SDF
- SICP
- project 4 needed by SICP lec
- notes for SICP 6.001 lec and rec with solutions (if unavailable for some section, use 6.037)
- also for CS61A notes and labs with solutions
- CS61A Unit 0 solution and notes
- SDF
- exercise solutions
- 6.5150 ps solution
- TODO 6.5150 project demo
- What Scheme implementation should I use? I just follow the 6.5150 (6.945)/6.5151 (6.905) to use MIT/GNU Scheme. That's fine. I may also use Racket libs for some SICP exercises.
- What doc should I read? Maybe this is helpful. So you can also try guile implementation although I am not familiar with that.
- From Jun 2 to Jul 2, chapter 1 is finished.
to Jul 11, up to chapter 2.1.
to Jul 13, review history chapter recitations, etc.

to Sep 19, section 3.3 up to exercise 3.12
3.27 most of time to do exercises. to Sep 20, one CS61A week to Sep 25, read 6.001 notes lec11 to lec16. to Sep 28, 6.001 OOP project. to Sep 30, section 3.3. to Oct 2, section 3.4 to Oct 3, one CS61A week to Oct 5, Exercise 3.50exercise 3.57. to Oct 7, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78597962/1-01e-100-1-in-mit-scheme/78626541#comment138620089_78597962 to Oct 10, section 3.5.3. (the speed is a bit slow.) to Oct 12, chapter 3 is finished. to Oct 13, one CS61A week to Oct 15, one lec, 2 recs and partly section 4.1. From Oct 10 to Oct 25, section 4.1... (too slow) to Oct 28, 2 lecs and related recs plus CS_61A/week12 (should be faster since one chapter half month is one reasonable speed, so each section has at most 4 days to read...). to Oct 30, CS_61A/week13. to Nov 2, section 4.2 with 2 exercises left. to Nov 3, section 4.2. to Nov 5, check the solution for the general 3.19 which is related with 4.34 implicitly (I should ask the question in QA after being stuck for a too long time like many hours... especially when that answer doesn't get many upvotes). to Nov 8, Exercise 4.42 and check the possible solution for the general 3.19 by Matt_Timmermans which is deleted later however. to Nov 12, section 4.3.3 (too slow...) to Nov 14, section 4.3 to Nov 15, one lec to Nov 16, learn more aboutcall/ccto Nov 17, give amb based onsc-macro-transformerto Nov 18, check coroutine said in c2 wiki and delimited continuation said in wikipedia coroutine. to Nov 20, give one feasible amb implementation functioning same as the book one. to Nov 21, found the guile doc saying much better than MIT/GNU Scheme doc about macro/syntax transformer likesyntax-rulesetc.- Up to now, the main time is spent on reading the book and schemewiki. Emm about one month for each chapter... up to chapter 3.
From Jul 17 to Aug 9, my efficiency is low (continued up to Aug 11, and then up to Aug 14 where I sometimes may think about weird things (still up to Aug 19)... ).
- From Jul 16 to Jul 18, read ps00 prerequisite contents.
to Jul 21, finish ps00.
to Aug 4, finish chapter 2.
to Aug 5, finish ps01 (14 Feb to 23 Feb) (recommended to use 10 days. So exceed 4 days).
From Aug 19 to Aug 22, finish ps02 (21 Feb to 1 Mar) (recommended to use 10 days).
From Aug 22 to Sep 1 (11 days), finish ps03 (28 February to 8 March) (recommended to use 10 days).
From Sep 2 to Sep 11 (10 days), finish ps04 (6 March to 15 March) (recommended to use 10 days).
- Notice the above ps recommendation time have overlap, so my efficiency seems to be very low...
- Up to now, the main time is spent on reading the book and finishing chapter exercises
Notice I also have exercise solutions in sicp_exercise.md and exercise_codes/ repo besides the SICP submodule.
booklist better read it with the adequate maths background
I will use official wiki (http://community.schemewiki.org/?sicp-ex-1.27 resumed at least when 2024-6-21) as the main part.
why I still learn sicp in 2024. See this especially cemerick.
Notice Racket/PLTScheme doesn't have mutable pairs. from tekkie.wordpress
This change only applies to the issue of immutable vs. mutable pairs. The dev. team made this decision, because in their view it made Scheme more of a pure functional language
I choose R5RS as Racket is based on it and 6.5151 (6.905) Red Tape Memo recommends R5RS.
I use MIT/GNU Scheme.

- 5.51~52
- sicp from this 2019 course material although "The End of an Era" says 6.001 is obsolete since 2008 (newer 2.andresraba6.6 without the corresponding pdf). Also see this and this for other forms. official (archive)
- no prerequisite is needed although tekkie says more advanced maths is needed. Also see history Course Catalogue, i.e. history_mit_Course_Catalogue.pdf.
- newer course needs programming experience like 6.145 A Brief Introduction to Programming in Python or 6.178 about Java (6.005)
- So we better read the HTML version to avoid ambiguity.
is is the second edition book, from Unofficial Texinfo Format. e freely-distributed official -and- format was first con-verted personally to Unofficial Texinfo Format () version 1 Also, it’s quite possible that some errors of ambiguity were introduced during the conversion
- older computer seems to read the book using Emacs due to its performance.
You are probably reading it in an Info hypertext browser, such as the Info mode of Emacs. You might alternatively be reading it TEX-formaed on your screen or printer, though that would be silly.

- It seems to have no homework by '6.5151 "homework"' (with only Red Tape pdf), similarly for Exam by 'mit 6.5151 "exam"' and Quizzes by "mit 6.5151 Quiz".
It only has problem set / assignment.

projectassignment implementation 2009 (partial) and 2019 (only have the project solution) (weird still can't find its fork) TODO project needs team and is a bit general about "symbolic-manipulation software".- It doesn't say what "some ideas" are (also for https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6.945/red-tape.pdf, FAQ and Overview).
If you don’t come up with a great IDEA yourself, we have some ideas that you might pursue. You will be expected to write elegant code that can be easily read and understood by us

if you want to do Sussman's more recent books like SDF you're going to have to use the latest mit-scheme anyway

The grades for this subject will be determined by a combination of classroom participation, homework, and project work To receive an “A” in this subject you will have to work all of the problem sets and prepare a good final project. We expect you to be at every class and to work every problem set. So do "problem sets" and the "final project".

- "course using Software Design for Flexibility" has no candidates while "course using SICP" has.
- This is not helpful up to this sorted by Best when giving one brief reading.

Substantial weekly programming assignments and a final project are an integral part of the subject.
- Assignments
- project
If you don’t come up with a great IDEA yourself, we have some ideas that you might pursue. You will be expected to write elegant code that can be easily read and understood by us. You must supply a clear English explanation of how your software works, and a set of test cases illustrating and testing its operation. You will present a brief summary and demo in class near the end of the term.
- homework may mean assignment
by a combination of classroom participation, homework, and project work
- Collaborative work
involve themselves in all aspects of the work. ... you should indicate the names of any collaborators for each part of the assignment
Sections 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 are essential. Please follow these thoroughly.
- advantages of edwin
offers a better integrated scheme debugger than emacs disadvantages (i.e. advantages of emacs) based on an older version of emacs (version 19) and has not been developed much since. no online presence or community fairly anemic library
- disadvantages of emacs
uses elisp, a fairly kludgy dialect of lisp, as an extension language not as much integration with mit-scheme than edwin
- I will just use vscode and
drracketas the 6.001/6.037 course does. - So I will skip
To view the tutorial, execute: For a tour of what you can do, go here: You should read all the key bindings of both the scheme source code mode and the scheme REPL mode

- TODO
how do you figure out that C-M-x will evaluate the scheme form at your cursor if you don't already know that
C-h k->C-M-xwill output "... is undefined". - kw
LISP is almost as old as programming itself, having been created just a year after Fortran, the first "high-level" computer language.
- REPL (similar to python)
The most important thing about programming using scheme, and any LISP for that matter, is to use the REPL. Generally, as you are programming in scheme, you will have one window which contains the code you are writing, and one window which serves as your REPL. You write some code (perhaps a single function), evaluate that code, then move over to the repl and experiment with the code you just wrote. Based on your repl interaction, you go back to your code and make changes, and then the cycle repeats. You can also run some tests in the REPL and then copy the results of those tests into your main source file, to use as documentation of what the function is supposed to do for certain inputs. This will be an effective way to prepare psets – you write code, then copy the answers to the problem from the REPL back to your source file.

If this were a C or Java program you would have to write a small test-harness, re-compile and then run the program again to do what you have just done.

- TODO I don't know how to copy in emacs. The top 2 answers by Daniel and Steven D fail.
-
You can always start the debugger at a scheme REPL by evaluating i.e. it is inside MIT-Scheme. So it may have less functions than
drracket. -
If you start the debugger in this way, then you will get a very nice looking window that constantly displays many of the things you could otherwise access through the commands you have just been shown. Try it out; it's neat! In a summary the key useful feature is
v. TODO how to do that indrracket?
