The textbook for this course is The Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs by Abelson, Sussman, and Sussman, second
edition. It is available in the textbook sections of all the local
bookstores. You must get the 1996 second edition! Don't buy a used
copy of the first edition! If you do not feel like purchasing the
textbook, copies of it are on reserve in the Engineering Library and
the entire book is readable online at
http://www-mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/fulltext/book/book.html
In addition to the textbook, there is a reader containing necessary
materials (including most of the assignments). You can buy the reader
at CopyCentral, 2483 Hearst Avenue (at Euclid). The summer's reader is
unlike readers from previous semesters, so don't use your roomate's
old copy. All of the most important material from the reader will also
be available on the course website so you don't have to buy the
reader if you don't want to. It has been our experience, however, that
most people prefer to purchase the reader.
Please bear in mind that reader was current at the beginning of the
semester but may not be current several weeks in. The staff will try
to stick closely to the material in the reader, but we reserve the
right to change due dates, assignments, lectures, schedules, etc. The
website and lectures will always be your most up-to-date sources for
information.
