Product Description

Functional programming is rooted in lambda calculus, which constitutes the world's smallest programming language. This well-respected text offers an accessible introduction to functional programming concepts and techniques for students of mathematics and computer science. The treatment is as nontechnical as possible, and it assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics or functional programming. Cogent examples illuminate the central ideas, and numerous exercises appear throughout the text, offering reinforcement of key concepts. All problems feature complete solutions.

Gentlest Possible introduction to Lambda Calculus 18 Mar 2009

By wooks - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Very easy to understand. Has the added bonus of solutions to all the questions. Unlike Hankins book you really can teach yourself Lambda Calculus with this. If you see a copy available grab it.

A great resource for understanding lambda calculus 23 Mar 2012

By Norman Richards - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I found the first half of this book on lambda calculus to be really helpful. The explanations and problems (solutions provided) made it easy to follow. As the book progresses, the author slowly transforms lambda calculus notation into something resembling ML. As I was less interested in the "introduction to functional programming" part than the "through lambda calculus" part, I didn't get as much value from the later chapters. However, even if your only goal is the same as mine was, to gain an understanding of lambda calculus, I still highly recommend this book. It's the best introduction I've found so far
