In this new and authoritative textbook the essential features of SML are taught with the use of extensive practical examples and exercises. The book will be ideal for a first level course in functional programming, presenting the functional paradigm as a useful approach in its own right, as well as helping to develop an understanding of concepts that are more widely applicable, such as pattern matching, case structuring, recursion and list processing.
The book's major feature is its extensive use of worked examples to illustrate general techniques and concepts. This approach is regarded as particularly appropriate for a functional language, such as SML, where the student is encountering programming concepts that will be unfamiliar after the "imperative" introduction to programming that most universities adopt.
Elementary Standard ML is a practical and accessible introduction to the language that has been written for a first course in functional programming. Computer science students will find it the ideal primer for learning and exploiting SML.
