Advances in Programming Languages 2010

There’s an APL-relevant seminar in the Forum this Thursday afternoon.

A Monad for Exhaustively Searching
Infinite Sets in Finite Time

Martín Escardo

University of Birmingham

4pm Thursday, 19th of February, 2009
Room 4.31/4.33, Informatics Forum

Links: Seminar abstract; LFCS Seminar series

This talk will show how to use monads in Haskell to structure and execute exhaustive search over (certain) infinite sets.  Martín is a great speaker, and has also done fascinating work on exact real computation.  He’s interested in having APL students along to the talk, and it should be accessible to those interested in programming languages and mathematics.
