About this Item

A nearly new copy with no defects, just a few hardly noticeable rubs, hence a 'damaged' stamp to one of the preliminary pages. Despite such this book looks and feels unread with contents that are crisp, fresh and tight. Thus a very nice book in great condition, now offered for sale at a reasonable price.

About this title

Synopsis:

Functional programming, is a style of programming that has become increasingly popular during the past few years. Applicative programs have the advantage of being almost immediately expressible as functional descriptions; they can be proved correct and transformed through the referential transparency property. This book presents the basic concepts of functional programming, using the language HASKELL for examples. The author incorporates a discussion of lambda calculus and its relationship with HASKELL, exploring the implications for parallelism.

Book Description:

The basic concepts of applicative programming are presented using the language HASKELL for examples. In addition to exploring the implications for parallelism, a discussion of lamda calculus and its relationship with SASL is included.
