Front Cover
2 Reviews
Elsevier, Nov 1, 1985 - Computers - 654 pages
The revised edition contains a new chapter which provides an elegant description of the semantics. The various classes of lambda calculus models are described in a uniform manner.

Indications are given of those parts of the book which can be used to form a coherent course.
