We will learn a bit of Lisp in this course:

• Parentheses go outside a function call: (sqrt 2.0)

• Everything is a function call: (+ x 3)

• defun defines a function:
  (defun twice (x) (* 2 x))

• Every function returns a value:

  
  (defun abs (x)
    (if (< x 0)
        (- x)
        x ) )
  

• setq is like = : (setq i 3)
