Book Description

This book explores the role of Martin-Lof's Constructive Type Theory in computer programming. The main focus of the book is how the theory can be successfully applied in practice. Introductory sections provide the necessary background in logic, lambda calculus and constructive mathematics, and exercises and chapter summaries are included to reinforce understanding.

• Simon Thompson is Professor of Logic and Computation in the School of Computing at the University of Kent, where he has taught computing at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the past thirty years, and was department head from 2002 to 2010; he is now Director for Research and Enterprise for the school.
