SICP exercises

Moriturus te saluto.

This is a collection of my answers to the exercises in the SICP book.

In order to run the excercises I'm using MIT/GNU Scheme, you can find installation instructions for your platform in their website, for macOS it can be installed via homebrew:

$ brew install mit-scheme

Tips & Tricks

• There's a MIT Scheme Reference available online, many of the procedures introduced in the book are available as built-in procedures that you can directly use in other excercises without having to import or re-define them.

• All the .scm archives are valid code that can be run by the interpreter, to make this process faster I have defined the following in my .vimrc:

  autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.scm nnoremap <leader>r <Esc>:w<CR>:!mit-scheme < %<CR>

• The interpreter has nice debugging capabilities described in the reference but I've found the (trace procedure-name) procedure to be the most useful for rapid iteration.
