Assignment 1
Part (e) of this assignment will take a significant amount of time.
I recommend that you get started immediately.
- (a) Touretzky: exercises 1.3, 1.6, 1.8, 1.12, 1.13, 1.17, 1.19, 1.20,
1.21, 1.25, 1.27. Solutions appear in Appendix C. Please feel free
to do extra exercises from this chapter!
- (b) Give definitions for the functions in Exercises 1.6 and 1.7
in LISP notation. Solutions
- (c) Get yourself WAM and GLUE accounts. See the
"Getting Started" link at the
AITS home page for how.
- (d) Log in to your course account (logname/password distributed in class).
Read your e-mail. Send a "hello" message to pr44301@umd5.umd.edu (that's
your prof!), giving your name so I know who sent it! If you're not
sure how to read and send e-mail, do part (e) first.
- (e) Spend several hours learning to get around in Unix,
getting comfortable with a text editor (preferably emacs), and
making sure you know how to read, send, save, and re-read e-mail.
See the page on Unix Info and Resources
for pointers. It is well worth investing serious time NOW
getting comfortable with Unix, editing files, and reading/sending mail.
This will save you a LOT of time later.
- (f) Optionally do Assignment 1ex
for a hands-on preview of some of what's ahead.
