This lively introduction to computer science and computer programming inScheme is for non-computer science majors with a strong interest in the subject andfor computer science majors who lack prior programming experience. The text allowsthe student to experience the computer as a tool for expressing ideas, not as afrustrating set of mathematical obstacles. This goal is supported by the use ofScheme, a modern dialect of Lisp, designed to emphasize symbolicprogramming.
