This chapter presents a highly simplified look at the lambda calculus—an algebraic formalization of computation. As our presentation proceeds, we will compare it to LISP. Now, LISP is not really an implementation of the lambda calculus, but it has inherited (deliberately and otherwise) some of its most important features. The comparison will throw some light on the issue of LISP’s relation to the lambda calculus.
