While it may not be advanced or mathematical enough for your needs, you may wish to read _The Haskell School of Expression: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia,_ by Paul Hudak. This is also an introductory book on functional programming, with a special focus on Haskell,

Is there a good textbook on Functional Programming which starts from a base point similar to "The craft of Functional Programming" but more advanced in terms of introducing necessary topics like Category theory, catamorphisms, monads, etc? I would find such a book very useful, especially if it

Who are the audience for the books on Advanced Functional Programming? Academics with a theoretical CS background or someone with just a bit of understanding of FP? Ideally, I would like a course suited for someone who has completed a basic FP course. -Original Message- From: Johan
