This course covers the basics of the theory of programming languages. We will begin with an introduction to functional programming and the mathematical foundation for programming language theory, and then proceed to the techniques for formally defining a programming language such as abstract syntax, type system, and operational semantics. We will investigate important features found in modern programming languges and their implementation issues.
This course places a strong emphasis on the role of type theory in modern programming languages. In order to complement our theoretical study with practical programming, we will learn a higher-order functional language called ML. Students are encouraged to learn on their own other functional languages, such as Haskell, Objective CAML, and Scheme.

Prerequisites: None, but MATH-261 Discrete Mathematics and CSE-233 Data Structure and Algorithm are strongly recommended.
