I taught a similar coures in 2004 and 2014. Here are the Of course, much has changed in the last 10 years, even in the last 2 years, so I suspect we will cover somewhat different material this term.
Here is a list of some papers we might read as background material.
The class will be based on lecture notes, and on writing and reading Haskell programs. A basic understanding of functional programming, as found in the class CS410/510 is assumed.
The schedule below lists a few topics. Other possible Choices.
