About this book
Harold Abelson wrote:I’d like to welcome you to the course of Computer Science. Actually it’s a terrible way to start. Computer science is a terrible name for this business. Firstable, it’s not a science. It might be engineering or might be art. I actually see the computer’s so called science actually has a lot in common with magic. We will see that in this course. So it’s not a science. It’s also not really very much about computer. And it’s not about computer in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerator. And biology is not really about microscope. And it’s not about computer in the same sense that geometry is not really about using a surveillance instruments.
