+Summary
+
+The report gives a defining description of the programming language Scheme. Scheme is
+a statically scoped and properly tail recursive dialect of the Lisp programming language
+[23] invented by Guy Lewis Steele Jr. and Gerald Jay Sussman. It was designed to have
+exceptionally clear and simple semantics and few different ways to form expressions. A
+wide variety of programming paradigms, including imperative, functional, and
+object-oriented styles, find convenient expression in Scheme.
+
+The introduction offers a brief history of the language and of the report.
+
+The first three chapters present the fundamental ideas of the language and describe the
+notational conventions used for describing the language and for writing programs in the
+language.
+
+Chapters 4 and 5 describe the syntax and semantics of expressions, definitions,
+programs, and libraries.
+
+Chapter 6 describes Scheme’s built-in procedures, which include all of the language’s data
+manipulation and input/output primitives.
+
+Chapter 7 provides a formal syntax for Scheme written in extended BNF, along with a
+formal denotational semantics. An example of the use of the language follows the formal
+syntax and semantics.
+
+Appendix A provides a list of the standard libraries and the identifiers that they export.
+
+Appendix B provides a list of optional but standardized implementation feature names.
+
+The report concludes with a list of references and an alphabetic index.
+
+ Note: The editors of the R5RS and R6RS reports are listed as authors of this report in
+ recognition of the substantial portions of this report that are copied directly from
+ R5RS and R6RS. There is no intended implication that those editors, individually or
+ collectively, support or do not support this report.
