An Introduction to the Theory of Lists

In these lectures we introduce a notation and a calculus for
specifying and manipulating computable functions over lists. The
calculus is used to derive efficient solutions for a number of
problems, including problems in text processing. Although programming
per se is not the main topic, we indicate briefly how these
solutions can be implemented in a purely functional programming
language.
