DESCRIPTION:A series of talks on functional programming languages covering
  Haskell\, Lisp and F#.\n\nCome to find out more about how functional prog
 ramming languages allow us to specify *what* we want to compute\, not *how
 * it should be computed.\n\nSpeakers:\n\n* Thomas Down (Gurdon Institute) 
 - _Haskell: not just for purists_\n* Simon Peyton-Jones (Microsoft Researc
 h) - _Nested Data Parallelism: from NESL to Haskell_\n* Stephen Eglen (DAM
 TP) - _Emacs Lisp_\n* Phillip Trelford (Microsoft Research) - _Winning the
  adPredict competition with functional programming_\n\nDrinks & nibbles wi
 ll be provided.\n\nDirections:\n\nhttp://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/map/\n\n
