The Haskell School of Expression

"This book teaches functional programming using Haskell, the most popular purely functional language. The emphasis is on functional programming as a way of thinking and problem solving, using Haskell as a vehicle for expressing solutions.

Rather than using conventional examples from mathematics, which are commonly found in other programming language books, this tutorial uses examples drawn from multimedia applications, including graphics, animation, and computer music, thus rewarding the reader with working programs for inherently more interesting applications. The author also teaches how to reason about functional programs, using a very simple process of calculation."--BOOK JACKET.
