{"product_id":"programming-with-higher-order-logic-dale-miller-9780521879408","title":"Programming with Higher-Order Logic","description":"Formal systems that describe computations over syntactic structures occur frequently in computer science. Logic programming provides a natural framework for encoding and animating such systems. However, these systems often embody variable binding, a notion that must be treated carefully at a computational level. This book aims to show that a programming language based on a simply typed version of higher-order logic provides an elegant, declarative means for providing such a treatment. Three broad topics are covered in pursuit of this goal. First, a proof-theoretic framework that supports a general view of logic programming is identified. Second, an actual language called λProlog is developed by applying this view to higher-order logic. Finally, a methodology for programming with specifications is exposed by showing how several computations over formal objects such as logical formulas, functional programs, and λ-terms and π-calculus expressions can be encoded in λProlog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dale Miller, Gopalan Nadathur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052187940X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521879408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Dale Miller","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946747560191,"sku":"9780521879408","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c87e74e7-c865-4cba-93e6-d5bdc3791444.jpg?v=1681514909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/programming-with-higher-order-logic-dale-miller-9780521879408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
