Structure and Interpretation of Computer
Programs - 2nd Edition (MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science) |
 |
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
has had a dramatic impact on computer science curricula over the past decade.
This long-awaited revision contains changes throughout the text. There are
new implementations of most of the major programming systems in the book,
including the interpreters and compilers, and the authors have incorporated
many small changes that reflect their experience teaching the course at
MIT since the first edition was published. A new theme has been introduced
that emphasizes the central role played by different approaches to dealing
with time in computational models: objects with state, concurrent programming,
functional programming and lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic programming.
There are new example sections on higher-order procedures in graphics and
on applications of stream processing in numerical programming, and many
new exercises. In addition, all the programs have been reworked to run in
any Scheme implementation that adheres to the IEEE standard. Visit the SICP2
