| Summary |
"In this up-to-date account of the subject, 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 explained in depth."--Jacket. |
