- ISETL (Interactive SET Language) is a language based upon
- the language, SETL. SETL is a language which has been
- used for rapid prototyping of large software systems. ISETL
- was designed primarily as a teaching tool. ISETL has been used
- at several colleges and universities to help students learn
- mathematical concepts. ISETL notation is similar to standard
- mathematical conventions.
-
- To get started with ISETL, run off a hardcopy of TUTORIAL.TXT.
- This will provide an introduction to a few of the features of
- the language.
-
- The following files should be in your working directory when
- starting this tutorial.
- ISETL.EXE -- ISETL interpreter
- MATH.STL -- ISETL input file
-
- The .LPR files which are distributed with the ISETL interpreter
- provide a complete description of the languages. Instructive
- examples appear in the following book.
-
- Baxter, Dubinsky & Levin, Teaching Discrete Mathematics with ISETL
- (Springer 1989).
-
- You can record to a disk file a portion of an ISETL session. For
- example, to start recording to a file with MS-DOS name my_file.txt on
- drive a type at the ISETL prompt
-
- !record a:my_file.txt
-
- To turn recording off, type
-
- !record
