Introduction.

The course begins with an introduction to lambda calculus, evaluation and recursion. It includes some issues in type systems, type checking, type inference and Milner-style polymorphic types. Some programming techniques are described and there is practical work both in lambda calculus and in a modern functional language (eg. LML or Haskell). Some of the following topics may also be discussed: Recommended book: Bird & Wadler, `Introduction to Functional Programming', Prentice Hall, 1988.
