Functional Programming by TyngRuey Chuang
Tyng-Ruey Chuang's "Functional Programming" gives a condensed summary of the leading concepts of functional programming. The basic concepts of functional programming are covered in this PDF and expose the core principles and paradigms. Among other things, it considers fold and unfold functions that are indispensable in the treatment of data structures in a functional manner. The paper also considers parameterized modules, which allow flexible and reusable parts of code. Main topics are function evaluation and binding, raw items of how functions work and interact in functional programming languages. Addressing these notions, Chuang's notes give a chance for brief but intensive introduction to the techniques and practices of functional programming.

Functional Programming Lecture Notes by David Walker
David Walker's 'Functional Programming Lecture Notes' give quite an extended introduction to functional programming using OCaml. The notes introduce the reader to the very basics of OCaml and simple manipulations of data, from thinking in recursion to problem-solving. It covers Polymorphism and Higher-Order programming, commonly referred to as PolyHO. It will discuss functions operating on other functions and even data. Pipelines and datatypes have been explained purely from functional programming paradigms. It first introduces the functional evaluation model and functional space model, thereby introducing the reader to the theoretical points of view of functional programming. Equational reasoning, modules, functors, and modular reasoning are other topics treated within this context, while more practical aspects concern mutable data structures, threads, and parallel complexity models. This book will no doubt be very useful to those readers who would wish to become acquainted with both the theory and practice of functional programming.

Type Theory and Functional Programming
Simon Thompson's Type Theory and Functional Programming explains the connection between type theory and functional programming. The book starts with an introduction to propositional and predicate logic, which gives a basis needed to understand type theory. It then leads on to functional programming and &

This course note, from the University of Edinburgh and offered online, emphasizes from a very practical point of view how to apply basic functional programming concepts in a graphical environment. Major topics to be covered include recursion, abstraction, higher-order functions, and several different data types-how all these concepts can be used to solve problems is demonstrated. The note introduces theoretical aspects but underlines their practical relevance by showing how these can be put into practice within graphical programming contexts. Learners develop a solid, theoretically based understanding of functional programming principles and get real practical experience applying these principles to graphical applications. This resource takes an integrated approach in the way that it interrelates theory and practice, hence acting as a bridge from concepts of functional programming to real-life practice.
