Domain Specific Languages of Mathematics

Education facts

Code: DIT983

The course will present classical mathematical topics from a computing science perspective: giving specifications of the concepts introduced, paying attention to syntax and types, and ultimately constructing DSLs of some mathematical areas mentioned below. The lecture topics are: Introduction to functional programming and calculational proofs<br> Introduction to Domain Specific Languages (DSLs): case study linear algebra<br> DSLs and mathematics: case study category theory<br> Real analysis: mean value theorems, Taylor formulas<br> Real analysis: a DSL for power series<br> More linear algebra: eigenvalues and optimization
