Hopefully, this will help you to grasp more general programming concepts that can be applied in a variety of contexts. The textbook for the course is "Simply Scheme",2nd edition, by Brian Harvey and Matthew Wright. We will cover the first 19 chapters of the book in this course.

Labwork

The facilities at the Ryerson MacLab are available for writing and testing your assignments and programming project. The version of Scheme that we will be using is DrScheme. Downloadable versions of DrScheme are available. Information on DrScheme and an intro to the MacLab are online at http://www.classes.cs.uchicago.edu/~mphasak/scheme.html .
