Reviews

'I strongly suspect that Richard Bird hides a magically productive book writing apparatus in his office. This time around, Bird pulled the machine's levers together with Jeremy Gibbons and out came Algorithm Design with Haskell, a book that is remarkable in many ways ... the authors recast a number of classical problems in terms of thinning, including ones like knapsack which otherwise have been tackled via dynamic programming for ages. These fresh - very confidently and competently presented- takes on established material are true highlights of the text.' Torsten Grust, Journal of Functional Programming
