 The lambda calculus we'll be focusing on for the first part of the course has no types. (Some prefer to say it instead has a single type---but if you say that, you have to say that functions from this type to this type also belong to this type. Which is weird.)
 
-Here is its syntax:
-
-<blockquote>
-<strong>Variables</strong>: <code>x</code>, <code>y</code>, <code>z</code>...
-</blockquote>
-
-Each variable is an expression. For any expressions M and N and variable a, the following are also expressions:
-
-<blockquote>
-<strong>Abstract</strong>: <code>(&lambda;a M)</code>
-</blockquote>
-
-We'll tend to write <code>(&lambda;a M)</code> as just `(\a M)`, so we don't have to write out the markup code for the <code>&lambda;</code>. You can yourself write <code>(&lambda;a M)</code> or `(\a M)` or `(lambda a M)`.

-<blockquote>
-<strong>Application</strong>: <code>(M N)</code>
-</blockquote>

-Some authors reserve the term "term" for just variables and abstracts. We won't participate in that convention; we'll probably just say "term" and "expression" indiscriminately for expressions of any of these three forms.
