That is, you can use Logic programming
Scheme.
Curiously, the course in a way that is easy, simple, and actually makes it useful.

I'm using the SICP lectures and text to learn about Scheme on my own. I am looking at an exercise that says "An application of an expression E is an expression of the form (E E1,...En). This includes the case n=0, corresponding to an expression (E). A...
