This course covers the foundational concepts and principles underlying the design and implementation of programming languages. Language constructs including assignment, equality, references, aggregations, scope, encapsulation, and parameter passing are discussed. A central theme is how a particular language construct relates to the concept of equational reasoning (referential transparency). Formal notations for describing syntax and semantics are presented.

Prerequisite(s): CSCI 3320 and CSCI 3660 with C- or better.
