There's lots of links here already to tutorials and encyclopedia entries about many of the notions we'll be dealing with.

Many of these links are to Wikipedia. You can learn a lot from such articles,
so long as you remember they may sometimes mislead or make mistakes. However, I
hope at this point in your education you'll have learned to be a guarded reader
even of authoritative treatises by eminent authors. So you shouldn't need any
Wikipedia-specific warnings.

For most readers, many bits of reading we point you to will be hairy in one way
or another. It may be aimed at audiences with more programming experience; it
may be aimed at audiences with specific logical background you don't yet have;
it may be aimed at audiences familiar with technical areas in linguistics you're
first encountering. Or perhaps several of these at once. We hope you will
already have mastered the skill of leveraged reading: getting what you can out
of an article you don't fully understand, so that you can discuss it with the rest of
the group and hopefully get to a point where you can read it again and
get more out of. (Rinse and repeat.)

## Untyped lambda calculus and combinatory logic ##

*	[[!wikipedia Lambda calculus]]
<!~- Haskell Curry had ideas that he felt were validated upon reading a 1924 paper by M. Schönfinkel "Uber die Bausteine der mathematischen Logik" which used combinators in a similar way to his own ideas. Haskell then wrote "An analysis of logical substitution" which appeared in the American Journal of Mathematics in 1929. ~->

invited talk, *19'th Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages*, ACM Press, Albuquerque, January 1992.
<!~-	This paper explores the use monads to structure functional programs. No prior knowledge of monads or category theory is required.
	Monads increase the ease with which programs may be modified. They can mimic the effect of impure features such as exceptions, state, and continuations; and also provide effects not easily achieved with such features. The types of a program reflect which effects occur.
	The first section is an extended example of the use of monads. A simple interpreter is modified to support various extra features: error messages, state, output, and non-deterministic choice. The second section describes the relation between monads and continuation-passing style. The third section sketches how monads are used in a compiler for Haskell that is written in Haskell.~->

Meijer, editors, *Advanced Functional Programming*, Springer Verlag, LNCS 925, 1995. Some errata fixed August 2001.
<!~-	The use of monads to structure functional programs is described. Monads provide a convenient framework for simulating effects found in other languages, such as global state, exception handling, output, or non-determinism. Three case studies are looked at in detail: how monads ease the modification of a simple evaluator; how monads act as the basis of a datatype of arrays subject to in-place update; and how monads can be used to build parsers.~->
