Subtopic: lambda operator and free variables up

Quote: generalization is the same as the abstraction or lambda operator in symbolic logic [»kimuTD7_1985]
Quote: a form is a meaningful expression with free variables
Quote: a form has a value for every system of admissible values of its free variables [»churA_1951]
Quote: assume unambiguous concepts, unambiguous constants, the free variables of a form determine its sense-value [»churA_1951]
Quote: LINQ infers IEnumerable from a select expression; it compiles with a lambda expression [»bierGM10_2007]

Subtopic: bound vs. free variable up

Quote: a bound variable or parameter is symbol independent, while a free variable depends on context [»landPJ_1966, OK]

Subtopic: reduction up

Quote: reduction is the atom of behavior of lambda-calculus; i.e., passing an argument to a function
Quote: reduction in lambda calculus is like eliminating differentiation in the differential calculus [»wegnP10_1986]

Subtopic: objects vs. values up

Quote: a theory of objects as a foundation for object-oriented programming; like lambda calculus but based on objects as primitives; handles classes, self, dynamic dispatch, inheritance, etc. [»abadM_1996]

Subtopic: petri nets up

Quote: combine Petri net theory with a compositional view of systems; like combining Turing machines with lambda-calculus [»milnR1_1993]

Subtopic: examples up

Quote: an expression tree, Expression, is an efficient, in-memory representation of a lambda expression; LINC translates expression trees into SQL [»bierGM10_2007]
QuoteRef: leavBM4_1970 ;; an implementation of lambda calculus
Quote: create a library of useful subroutines; a calculus of instructions [»maucJW1_1947]
Quote: an applicative expression consists of lambda expressions, operator applications, and expression lists; a fundamental notation [»landPJ1_1964]

Subtopic: limitations of lambda calculus up

Quote: because of self-reference, could not construct a set-theoretic model of the .lambda.-calculus
Quote: in type-free, lambda calculus, can not define a universal domain that includes all functions
[»straC3_1973]
