Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs has had a dramatic impact on
computer science curricula over the past decade. This long-awaited revision contains
changes throughout the text.
There are new implementations of most of the major programming systems in the
book, including the interpreters and compilers, and the authors have incorporated
many small changes that reflect their experience teaching the course at MIT
since the first edition was published.
A new theme has been introduced that emphasizes the central role played by
different approaches to dealing with time in computational models: objects with
state, concurrent programming, functional programming and lazy evaluation, and
nondeterministic programming. There are new example sections on higher-order
procedures in graphics and on applications of stream processing in numerical
programming, and many new exercises.
In addition, all the programs have been reworked to run in any Scheme implementation
that adheres to the IEEE standard.
