Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

Functions are fundamental to code organization; they exist in all higher order programming languages. Generally, functional programming means using functions to the best effect for creating clean and ...

The field of functional analysis of symmetric analytic functions explores the interplay between the structure of analytic function algebras and the inherent symmetries dictated by invariance under ...

In the past two columns, we’ve looked at higher-order functions and talked a little bit about the power of functional programming. So far, the concepts we’ve covered do little to indicate how powerful ...
