Computer Science 3 University of California at Berkeley Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Introduction to Symbolic Programming - Fall 2001

2001-12-20 : Grades have been determined, put online and sent to Sproul! Folks who do A- work and above are really encouraged to become lab assistants next semester. We lowered the grade cutoffs by roughly 10 points for everyone (fewer points to A+ students -- there you really had to earn it), consider that an early xmas gift from those of us at cs3. (For P/NP folks, we listed your actual grade in case you were curious what it would have been had you taken the course graded...)

1. Ask a fellow classmate
2. Our newsgroup, ucb.class.cs3
   1. First read it to see if your question has already been asked
   2. If not, ask it and check back for your answer
3. Ask your TA in discussion section, lab, or office hours
4. Ask Dan in office hours
5. Ask Dan in lecture
6. Send your TA email
7. Send Dan email. Note that this is by far the worst way to ask a question -- there are about 400 students in this class and 300 in Dan's other class.

    Advanced recursion questions

We encourage folks to download Scheme interpreters to use at home. Here are the available interepreters for each platform (the one we recommend is in bold). Note that in the labs we use Macintoshes and have both Dr. Scheme and MacGambit. We'll be encouraging folks to use MacGambit because it has the replacement modeler which is very useful.

• PCs (running Windows 95/98/2000/NT)
  • Dr. Scheme (notes on getting Dr. Scheme to work).
    • simply-teachpack.scm setup notes available.
      • These notes will allow DrScheme to automatically load Simply Scheme definitions on startup. If you're tired of always having to reload berkeley.ss, and you're running DrScheme at home, this is for you.
    • A Graphics Teachpack is now available for Dr. Scheme. It enables you to use all the MacGambit drawing functions that we've seen in lecture. It follows the same procedure used to install the simply scheme teachpack. Try running tree.scm with rotating-geometry.scm to test it out.
  • STk, the cool setup we use in CS 61A. Be warned that the TAs aren't familiar with it.
    • It even comes with a Replacement Modeler. To use the replacement modeler, evaluate (load "modeler.stk"), then you can use the (model ...) special form to view expressions.
    • You should still get simply.scm.
    • All of the information you need to install STk can be found here.
  • Gambit for Windows! The TAs aren't familiar with the Windows version, though.
    • You can go to the Gambit page here
• Macs
  • MacGambit
  • Dr. Scheme (notes on getting Dr. Scheme to work).

Even more Scheme!
