Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
TL;DR: Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs emphasizes the central role played by different approaches to dealing with time in computational models, appropriate for an introduction to computer science courses, as well as programming languages and program design.
MonographDOI
Turtle Geometry: The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics
Harold Abelson,Andrea A. diSessa +1 more
TL;DR: Turtle Geometry presents an innovative program of mathematical discovery that demonstrates how the effective use of personal computers can profoundly change the nature of a student's contact with mathematics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amorphous computing
Harold Abelson,Don Allen,Daniel Coore,Chris Hanson,George E. Homsy,Thomas F. Knight,Radhika Nagpal,Erik M. Rauch,Gerald Jay Sussman,Ron Weiss +9 more
TL;DR: Newton’s language Regiment, also a functional language, is designed to gather streams of data from regions of the amorphous computer and accumulate them at a single point, which allows Regiment to provide region-wide summary functions that are difficult to implement in Proto.
