CONTENT

This video is part of the playlist "Lambda Cube Unboxed", a series of 13 videos that explores and exposes the basics of (un-)typed λ-calculus including higher-order parametric polymorphism and dependent types. The resources, from which this video series extracts the offered material, are listed in the description of the playlist.

This video (2.1): 
We now take a step back to discuss some of the shortcomings of the untyped lambda calculus and present types as a way of fixing some of these issues. In particular we look at the simply typed lambda calculus as a way of adding types to the untyped lambda calculus.
