Graduate text on mathematical foundations of programming languages, and operational and denotational semantics.

The parametric lambda calculus is a metamodel for reasoning about various kinds of computations. Its syntactic definition is based on the notion of "sets of inp

This handbook with exercises reveals in formalisms, hitherto mainly used for hardware and software design and verification, unexpected mathematical beauty. The

Combinatory logic and lambda-calculus, originally devised in the 1920's, have since developed into linguistic tools, especially useful in programming languages.

This is a set of lecture notes that developed out of courses on the lambda calculus that the author taught at the University of Ottawa in 2001 and at Dalhousie
