unfortunately PSOS does not use the current version of parenscript. It is based on an older and modified version.

"Too many parentheses" is a cop out for "This language is too far out of my comfort zone." And I think that is why Lisp is not as successful as other languages. I also think the almost mythical status of Lisp is also a

because smart scientific people are skeptics. It is tougher to resolve one's skepticism with religious beliefs than it is resolve with atheism. Interestingly, I have known several atheist who were almost "religious" in their atheism.

This is particularly true. Conformism is particularly strong in the black community. In college I had two good black friends. Both who grew up middle class and smart Both who were ostracized for having white friends. One liked heavy metal,

I always disagreed article with this because I did not experience this. My high school years were not painful and were a lot of fun, even though I was labelled a nerd, curve-buster, einstein, etc.... So this is my advice from my experience.

A second for Hungerford. Lang's Algebra is a horrible book. It was the course book in grad school but we all studied from Hungerford. Hungerford is very detailed with lots of proofs and examples. Jacobson's Basic Algebra I & II is

Just a clarification. I was referring to PG "On Lisp" as advanced. Not PCL. "On Lisp" is mostly about complex uses of macros. Hence the name -- programming "On" lisp instead of programming in lisp

"On Lisp" is excellent but is an advanced text; I would advise against it as a first book. PG's Ansi Common Lisp is pretty good and I use it as a quick reference before I go to The Common Lisp Reference.

I would suggest The Little Schemer to understand the concepts of Lisp/Scheme. I would read and digest this before any other lisp book. The book appears to be an easy read but it is not. Practical Common Lisp lives up to its name and has so

You really need to learn Math by doing it there really is no other way. Books are really just references and guides and can give you good problems to work from. Either find a friend who will study with you or get direction from a math pro

True, but one needs to be very self-critical when self-learning and interact with others (not necessarily in the formal situation). To me, formal education is to provide the tools and knowledge necessary to learn on one's own, outside of a
