Code in the 1986's MIT SICP lectures
Lectures by Gerry Sussman and Hal Abelson
Motivation
MIT lectures on Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, as taught in 1986 by Gerald Sussman and Harold Abelson, are available online in youtube and MIT OCW's website. The videos are available in 240p/360p: very poor quality for visualizing the code in the slides. In addition to that, the camera won't fixate on the board for long, making it extremely difficult to follow.
This is a digitized version of the code featured in the lectures.
This project's intent is to make the lectures' code and content readable (unlike the slide below) and available in digital format.
Files Syntax and Notation
I tried to maintain consistency of notation, comments and indentation throughout the lectures. Much of the original indentation on the slides was maintained, except for when I was able to improve readability by changing it. Lecture breaks are also noted.
Every SLIDE , TERMINAL or BOARD content is marked with the time of appearance. E.g.
;# SLIDE 0:00:00 ... slide content ;# END SLIDE
