Description
Lambda calculus lies at the very foundation of computer science. Besides its historical role in computability theory, it has had significant influence on programming language design and implementation, denotational semantics and domain theory. This book is written from a systems perspective, emphasizing the practical relevance of many of the key theoretical ideas.
