MCCARTHY, John. Recursive functions of symbolic expressions and their computation by machine. Offprint from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Research Laboratory of Electronics. Quarterly Progress Report No. 53 (April 15, 1959). 4o. Text diagrams. Original gray printed wrappers.
The latter half of the 1950s saw the advent of the first list processing languages, developed to handle operations on non-numerical data arranged in chains rather than serially. By far the most influential of these languages was McCarthy's LISP (LISt Processor) -- the language of choice for AI programming -- which is described in the present paper (pages. 124-152). The above is a preliminary version of McCarthy's paper, published a year before its appearance (in revised form) in the Communications of the ACM. This preliminary version, which contains discussions of Turing machines not included in the 1960 publication, is apparently unrecorded. OCLC cites a 17-leaf version, also published in 1959, headed "Artificial Intelligence Project ... Memo no. 8"; this version was followed by a 4-leaf continuation entitled "Memo no. 11." When OOC was written, OCLC cited three copies of this report. OOC 779.
