If anyone knows of any sites that have lectures on lambda calculus it would be very helpful if you could post them. Wikipedia is a bit too rigorous for me on this subject.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Lambda Calculus is a formal system in mathematical logic for expressing computation based on function abstraction and application using variable binding and substitution.
Lambda Calculus is important because it serves as a foundation for functional programming languages and has influenced the development of programming language theory and type systems. It is also used in fields such as artificial intelligence, linguistics, and theoretical computer science.
Lambda Calculus is used in computer science to model and reason about computation. It is used as a theoretical framework to study the properties of functions and algorithms, and to prove theorems about their behavior and complexity.
Lambda Calculus can be challenging to learn, especially for those with no prior experience in formal logic or programming. However, with dedication and practice, it can be understood and applied effectively.
There are many online resources available to learn Lambda Calculus, including tutorials, lecture notes, and video lectures. Some popular resources include the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, the Lambda Calculus Wikibook, and the Lambda Calculus course on Coursera.
