I dedicate this book to my mom and dad who patiently (and at times not so patiently) endured my many childhood pranks.
James W. Stelly has been dabbling with computers as both a hobbyist and professional for over four decades. He has degrees in both computer science and mathematics from the University of Houston. As a hobbyist, his projects include robotics using Arduino and Raspberry Pi along with numerous explorations of programming languages ranging from machine language to C++ (and many others). His day job (now part time since retirement) is developing a line of business applications primarily aimed at record keeping and data management.
Matthew Flatt is a professor in the School of Computing at the University of Utah, where he works on extensible programming languages, run-time systems, and applications of functional programming. He is one of the developers of the Racket programming language and a co-author of the introductory programming textbook How to Design Programs.

First, let me thank the folks responsible for Racket. They have created a truly remarkable piece of software. The care and effort that went into producing it has to be incalculable.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude and thanks to my editors at No Starch, Alex Freed and Athabasca Witschi, as well as my technical reviewer, Matthew Flatt. They made literally dozens of helpful suggestions for improvements as well as corrections. Any remaining flaws are entirely of my own making.
Finally, let me thank my wife for her patience. Her view of me was primarily of the back of my head while I was working on this book.
![In this book we explore using Racket a language descended from the Scheme - photo 3](/uploads/posts/book/255674/Images/common01.jpg)
In this book we explore using Racket (a language descended from the Scheme family of programming languageswhich in turn descended from Lisp) and DrRacket, a graphical environment that allows us to make the most of all the features of Racket. One of the attractive features of this ecosystem is that its equipped with a plethora of libraries that cover a wide range of disciplines. The developers describe Racket as a system that has batteries included. This makes it an ideal platform for the interactive investigation of various topics in computer science and mathematics.
Given Rackets Lisp pedigree, we would be remiss to omit functional programming, so we will definitely explore it in this text. Racket is no one-trick pony though, so we will also explore imperative, object oriented, and logic programming along the way. Also on the computer science front, we will look at various abstract computing machines, data structures, and a number of search algorithms as related to solving some problems in recreational mathematics. We will finish the book by building our own calculator, which will entail lexical analysis using regular expressions, defining the grammar using extended BackusNaur form (EBNF), and building a recursive descent parser.
Racket features extensive and well-written documentation, which includes Quick: An Introduction to Racket with Pictures, the introductory Racket Guide, and the thorough Racket Reference. Various other toolkits and environments also have separate documentation. Within DrRacket these items can be accessed through the Help menu.
Racket is available for a wide variety of platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS, and Unix. It can be downloaded from the Racket website via the link https://download.racket-lang.org/. Once downloaded, installation simply entails running the downloaded executable on Windows, .dmg file on macOS, or shell script on Linux. At the time of writing, the current version is 7.8. Examples in the book will run on any version 7.0 or later. They will likely run on earlier versions as well, but since the current version is freely available there is really no need to do so. When the DrRacket environment is first launched, the user will be prompted to select a Racket language variant. The examples in this book all use the first option in the pop-up dialog box (that is, the one that says The Racket Language).
