✦ Synopsis
Essential LISP leads readers step by step through the features of LISP as well as some of the applications to artificial intelligence. Each topic is explained in detail, then reinforced with exercises. LISP, developed in 1950 by John McCarthy, is one of the oldest programming languages in use today. This volume can be used as a first programming course or as an introduction
to LISP for experienced programmers. Special features of the book include introductory sections that help the reader focus on the topics to be explored in each chapter, strong treatment of list processing, iteration, recursion and code templates that teach readers good programming constructs and exercises with detailed answers at the end of the book.
