Scheme as an expository language for liberal arts students
Aaron H. Konstam, John E. Howland · 1993
The Scheme dialect of Lisp is being used as an expository notation in introductory courses for liberal arts students at Trinity University. Terminology from natural language identifying parts of speech, such as verb, noun, pronoun, adverb, etc., is used to present Scheme syntax and semantics to non programmers. Simple working models of various computer science topics are described. Experiences from two Trinity computer science courses are presented.
