Combinatory Logic : Pure, Applied and Typed

Combinatory logic is a versatile field that is connected to philosophical, mathematical, and computational logic. This comprehensive reference on combinatory logic covers results in the field from the last four decades along with classical information on the topic. The author makes combinatory logic simple to understand while providing working knowledge that is rigorous, current, and readable. Reader-friendly without compromising the precision of exposition, the book includes many new research results not found in the available literature. It also contains pointers to new directions in the field that can be pursued further by researchers.

Combinatory logic is one of the most versatile areas within logic that is tied to parts of philosophical, mathematical, and computational logic. Functioning as a comprehensive source for current developments of combinatory logic, this book is the only one of its kind to cover results of the last four decades. Using a reader-friendly style, the author presents the most up-to-date research studies. She includes an introduction to combinatory logic before progressing to its central theorems and proofs. The text makes intelligent and well-researched connections between combinatory logic and lambda calculi and presents models and applications to illustrate these connections.
