Functional Programming by Loyola Marymount University
This is a resource provided by Loyola Marymount University on functional programming. It starts with a basic explanation and goes further into how one can make a shift from imperative programming to functional. The key topics it covers are higher-order functions, which are the backbone for doing functional programming in order to write abstract code reuse. This paper describes closures and purity, including side effects, in detail to apprise the reader about the value of immutability and functional purity. It describes both the functional and object-oriented programming paradigms, then it points to point-free programming, and concludes with an overview of the functional programming landscape. This should be a good reference for students and practitioners alike who want to know about the basics in functional programming and its theoretical underpinnings.

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.

Introduction to Functional Programming
These lecture notes by Piyush P Kurur elaborates on various functional programming topics in depth. The contents of the following topics are functional programming-introduction, pattern matching, and some useful algorithms like The Sieve of Eratosthenes and the Fibonacci Series. Advanced topics include folding of lists, lambda calculus, modules, type inference, and type classes. Examples of practical applications, such as an expression evaluator and functions with variable arguments, will provide learners with a sense of how theoretical material might be applied in real-world situations. These detailed lecture notes are intended for readers who would like to go through functional programming in depth - both explanations and exercises.

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 &
