Domain-Specific Languages of Mathematics

This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content. In the main most books will have gone through the editing process however some may not. We therefore suggest that you be aware of this before ordering this book.

The main idea behind this book is to encourage readers to approach

mathematical domains from a functional programming perspective: to

identify the main functions and types involved and, when necessary, to

introduce new abstractions; to give calculational proofs; to pay

attention to the syntax of the mathematical expressions; and, finally,

to organize the resulting functions and types in domain-specific languages.

The book is recommended for developers who are learning mathematics and

would like to use Haskell to make sense of definitions and theorems. It

is also a book for the mathematically interested who wants to explore

functional programming and domain-specific languages. The book helps put

into perspective the domains of Mathematics and Functional Programming

and shows how Computer Science and Mathematics are usefully taught together.
