Contents

1. introduction to declarative programming: basic concepts, programming methodology, formal basics, i.e.

  • if emphasis in functional programming: recursive function equations, reduction semantics, algebraic data structures, pattern matching, type systems, type inference, higher order functions, proof of program properties, lambda calculus.
  • or with emphasis in logic programming: Horn clause programs, unification, resolution, backtracking, Horn clause logic

2. discussion of programming language concepts like values, types, variables, bindings, abstraction, encapsulation, flow control and concurrency

3. didactic preparation of the material for teaching in schools
