* Topic: Lisp and Symbolic Programming From the Beginning

* Presenter: Ira J. Kalet, Ph.D., Professor http://www.radonc.washington.edu/faculty/ira/

* Date: Thursday, June 14, 2007 * Time: 6:15 - 7:45 PM * Location: Capitol Hill branch of library * Cost: Free and open to the public of all ages

This session will introduce the basic ideas that make Lisp a uniquely powerful programming language, illustrated with examples from biomedical applications, including molecular biology, drug interactions and cancer treatment.

If time allows, we will introduce functional programming, CLOS, the Meta-Object Protocol and macros.

If there is interest but insufficient time, a second session is possible.

The session is for both experienced Lispers and those new to Lisp.
