Lecture 2: Mini-ML's Operational Semantics

We discuss how Mini-ML's operational semantics can be inductively defined, we characterize what values are, and we prove the first meta-theorem about deductive systems. The evaluation of any Mini-ML program results in a value.

Suggested Reading Materials:
