Course Objectives		Teaching students the functional programming paradigm. Teaching students modern functional programming languages such as Haskell. Improving the students' understanding of imperative programming constructs by contrasting them with functional concepts. Teaching students the functional programming techniques that can also be beneficial in imperative programming languages.
Course Description		Programming paradigms and functional programming principles. Recursion. Algebraic data types. Pattern matching. Higher-order functions. Type classes. Functional data structures. Lazy evaluation. Monads.
Course Outcomes		Students learn the functional programming principles and understand their significance. Students can develop small- to moderate-sized projects using a functional programming language. Students can judge whether they would need to employ functional programming in a given project and choose the appropriate tools for achieving such a goal. Students can apply functional programming techniques to improve their coding skills in imperative programming platforms.
