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.
