• Understand the fundamentals of functional programming for solving computational problems.
• Understand the differences between the imperative and functional programming paradigms.
• Understand the basic concepts of the functional paradigm using a functional language.
• Develop functional programming skills through programs that use algebraic data types.
• Develop functional programming skills using dynamic programming or backtracking techniques.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
In this field of knowledge, it is particularly important to combine theory with practice. Therefore, the teaching methodology tries to reflect this reality as best as possible. Although theoretical concepts are taught in the classroom, there is a strong practical component dedicated exclusively to ensuring that students are able to take advantage of the advances in this discipline (functional programming).
