--------------------[ LISP readings ]--------------------

Chapter 3 in the Mitchell textbook covers LISP. Read about its history
in 3.1--2, and the overview in 3.3; pay special attention to the abstract
machine of CONS cells described in 3.4.3 and use the exercises in it
to check yourself. Read 3.4.4.

Read http://ep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/paulgraham/acl2.txt (see below) for a
much more hands-on introduction to LISP. Have your LISP shell open, and try every
command; this is the only way to really follow.

Download Paul Graham's free book http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisptext.html
and read sections 2.1--2.3. Have your LISP shell open, and try every
command; this is the only way. We'll deal with 2.5 and later on Thursday.

Paul Graham also wrote an in-depth reference for ANSI Common LISP:

This book is, unfortunately, not free, but Chapters 1 and 2 are online, and
are very useful.

We'll deal with Mitchell's 3.4.5, 3.4.6 on Thursday; we might get to
3.4.7--9 as well, but you are welcome to read ahead, as usual.

There's another free book on LISP, http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/
Give it a try; Chapters 1--6 cover a lot of ground.

Class transcript, with all my errors and typos, is in the lisp/ subdir:
