‘Higher-order functions’ is a fancy term for functions that take other functions as arguments or that return functions. Very powerful!

Next time, I'm going to show how you can leverage datatyping your functions when passing functions as parameters (implementing the strategy pattern) or when returning functions from a function ...

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 ...

The object-oriented paradigm popularized by languages including Java and C++ has slowly given way to a functional programming approach that is advocated by popular Python libraries and JavaScript ...

The problem of estimating from a sample a confidence region for the parameters of the distribution of maximum values is treated by setting up what are called "statistical estimation functions" ...

We first study some generalizations of Eulerian fractions with complex order parameter and investigate their interrelationship with likewise generalized Eulerian functions as well as Stirling ...
