"Especially for nondevelopers, functional programing can be the perfect tool for coding an endless variety of problems. If you've been afraid that the paradigm was too complex, this book will quickly dispel those fears. You'll see how functional programming processes are used to derive, analyze, and prove the worth of algorithms; explore the differences in Haskell and Python and learn when to use pure and impure approaches; see why functional programming is vital for AI and gaming applications; and put your new skills to work."--From publisher.
