Description for Lambda-Calculus and Combinators
Hardcover. This book gives an account of combinatory logic and lambda-calculus models. Num Pages: 358 pages, 10 b/w illus. 1 table 55 exercises. BIC Classification: PBCD; UYA. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 237 x 159 x 24. Weight in Grams: 688.
Combinatory logic and lambda-calculus, originally devised in the 1920s, have since developed into linguistic tools, especially useful in programming languages. The authors' previous book served as the main reference for introductory courses on lambda-calculus for over 20 years: this version is thoroughly revised and offers an account of the subject with the same authoritative exposition. The grammar and basic properties of both combinatory logic and lambda-calculus are discussed, followed by an introduction to type-theory. Typed and untyped versions of the systems, and their differences, are covered. Lambda-calculus models, which lie behind much of the semantics of programming languages, are also ... Read more

Reviews for Lambda-Calculus and Combinators
From reviews of the first edition: 'The book of R. Hindley and J. Seldin is a very good introduction to fundamental techniques and results in these fields ... the book is clear, pleasant to read, and it needs no previous knowledge in the domain, but only basic notions of mathematical logic ... Clearly, it was impossible to treat everything ... Read more
