Reserve List
To check out one of these (for a few hours), go to the Mathematical Sciences Library reserve desk. Take along the call number and title, or look up 22C:54 there.
This list is divided into three sections: the required and recommended texts for the course, books that may explain programming (in Scheme) in different ways or amplify the material in our texts, and books that give the details of Scheme.
