Summary of Content:  

This module is part of the Foundations of Computer Science theme in the School of Computer Science.

The purpose of this module is to provide G54FOP students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the mathematical foundations of programming languages by studying a specific topic related to what is covered in G54FOP in depth. The topic is chosen from a list of proposed topics, or after discussion with the module convener. A report should be written on the chosen topic, and a presentation given on its central aspects.
