End of an Era

I've only been minimally following traffic on a few mailing lists, but apparently, MIT is doing away with the 6.00X course structure for introductory courses, including 6.001 -- Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programming (in scheme). Is this the last year for the traditional double-ohs? IF (TRUE) THEN it's time to whip out the, 'My other CAR is my CDR' bumper sticker and Knights of the Lambda Calculus buttons and pocket protectors.

"Relive the glory days of .001, or experience them for the first time before the end of an era.

Be a cons cell! Velcro yourself to your friends to make a box-and-pointer diagram! Wear your favorite lambda expression!

October 30th, 6.001 lecture, featuring the illustrious, adorable, and ever-quotable Gerald J. Sussman: Tuesday, 10am, 32-123. Costumes encouraged."
