Contents

The course gives an introduction to functional programming using the language Haskell. Moreover, we will discuss models for the semantics and the implementation of functional languages. This also includes techniques for type checking and type inference as well as methods for the optimization of functional programs.


Language

The course is given in English.


References

Here is a short overview on the correspondence of the material in the lecture to material in the books mentioned above. However, the material is not identical to the one in the books.

Course Notes

Area

Theoretical Computer Science, Area of Specialization


Certificate

To get a certificate for this course (Übungsschein) you must reach at least 50 % of the points on the exercise sheets and pass a test at the end of the course. We recommend the acquisition of this certificate, since this is a good opportunity to prepare for the diploma or master examination.

The test will be in the weeks 24.-28.2.03 and 8.-11.4.03. If you want to participate and have reached the necessary 50 %, just send an email with the week in that you want to make the test to René Thiemann.

Haskell

In the course, we use the functional programming language Haskell. Information on Haskell as well as (free) interpreters and compilers can be found on the Haskell home page www.haskell.org. To learn Haskell, we recommend the Haskell interpreter Hugs.
