Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP)


SICP Cover

Also known as Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. It is one of the most famous books in computer science and very essential for any software engineer to go through.

This series contains my solutions and notes as I work through the exercises. The online version of this book can be found at https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html

To supplement the book, I’m also following the original online lectures by Abelson and Sussman found here
