-**Variables**: `x`, `y`, `z`, ... +Variables: x, y, z...
Each variable is an expression. For any expressions M and N and variable a, the following are also expressions:
-**Abstract**: (λa M) +Abstract: (λa M)
We'll tend to write (λa M) as just `( \a M )`.
-**Application**: `(M N)` +Application: (M N)
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. -- 2.11.0
