The Lambda Calculus. Its Syntax and Semantics (Studies in Logic)

It's actually a hard reading, but if you want to understand what's going on under the lid, you have to read it.Maybe first you have to learn some topos theory. Anyway, it's something that a serious professional must know.

This book came highly recommended, and definitely lived up to that billing.This book is a text book in many university classes on the topic at the graduate level.This book assumes you have the ability to work with formal systems in logic(I.E. if you were comfortable with symbolic logic you should have no trouble)That out of the way, it is well written and covers a complex area of logic with breath and clarity.

The book is intended for those who wish to truly understand the theoretical underpinnings of lambda calculus. I think that the book is not for you if you merely want to develop the intuition for it.

It's an excellent reprint of the classic work in Lambda Calculus. Anyone interested in the subject will find this a comprehensive and readable text.

The bible of lambda calculus, without a doubt. You won't find a treatment more profound or comprehensive. But the publisher must invest in a proofreader. The errata is interminable. And the English is a couple of cuts below standard. It's apparent that the translator's grasp of the English language is tenuous. The overall effect is deleterious.

I recently became passionate about functional programming, Haskell, and the Lambda Calculus. I bought this book hoping I would develop a better understanding and gain some insights that would make me a better programmer and allow me to apply new concepts in my own language design. I knew this had more of a math focus but I did not expect this. Unfortunately it seems this book is targeted ENTIRELY towards mathematicians—and ONLY mathematicians. English paragraphs are extremely scarce. I can usually read a CS or SIGGRAPH paper without too much difficulty but this book is extremely cryptic; I am not able to understand anything from it.

Appena acquistato (il libro riporta come data di stampa dicembre 2022) e solo sfogliando l'indice sono volati via due fogli. Nel giro di qualche minuto se ne sono staccati altri due nel mezzo e un altro verso la fine. Farò fatica a leggerlo senza perdere dei pezzi.

Edition magnifique. Prix très raisonable. Et en plus, on achète LE livre qu' il faut lire , ou plutôt, consulter sur lelambda calcul.
