The goal of this repository is to provide the solutions for the exercises of the book "Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics", by Gerald Jay Sussman and Jack Wisdom.

Feel free to contribute with a Pull Request if you have any other solutions or fixes to my solutions.

This is mainly for linux.

1. Download the tarball from http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/6946/scmutils-tarballs/

Ex: For my system (linux 64-bit), I downloaded the file scmutils-20140302-x86-64-gnu-linux.tar.gz

2. Log into root with

sudo -s

3. Execute:

cd /usr/local
tar -xvzf [path-to-your-tarball.tar.gz]

4. To start Scheme, use

/usr/local/bin/mechanics

Or, if this directory is in your path, use

mechanics

5. Useful documentation is under /usr/local/scmutils/manual/

You can use scheme/scmutils with the interface provided by the tarball (Edwin) or with Emacs, if you areadly have it installed and prefer to.

Edwin is an Emacs-like editor, and it opens when you run "mechanics".

To use scheme/scmutils with Emacs, include the following in your .emacs:

(defun mechanics ()
  (interactive)
  (run-scheme
    "ROOT/mit-scheme/bin/scheme --library ROOT/mit-scheme/lib"
    ))

Replacing ROOT with the directory in which smutils is installed, in my case /usr/local/scmutils. Now, restart emacs (or use C-x C-e to evaluate the function above), and run the environment with M-x mechanics.
