15312 Foundations Of Programming Languages [portable] -

The course aims to provide a unified mathematical framework for understanding language concepts across various paradigms, including functional, imperative, and concurrent programming. Statics and Dynamics: You will learn to give precise definitions of a language's (its type system) and (how programs actually execute). Type Safety: A major goal is mastering the concept of

Proving that "well-typed programs cannot go wrong" using the Progress (a program can always take a step) and Preservation (stepping maintains the type) theorems. 15312 foundations of programming languages

that treats programming languages as mathematical objects. Rather than focusing on how to code in a specific language, it explores the formal principles used to design, define, and implement them. Core Course Objectives The course aims to provide a unified mathematical

Imagine a sentence in English: “Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.” It’s grammatically correct but meaningless. Similarly, a program can be syntactically correct but nonsensical. that treats programming languages as mathematical objects
