Barendregt (Henk Barendregt)

Henk Barendregt is a mathematician and computer scientist known for his work in mathematical logic and the foundations of computer science. He specializes in lambda calculus, a formal system used to study functions and computation. His research clarifies how complex functions can be expressed and evaluated systematically. Barendregt’s contributions have helped deepen our understanding of programming languages, formal reasoning, and the mathematical structures underlying computation. His work provides a rigorous framework that supports the development of reliable and efficient software, making a significant impact on both theoretical computer science and practical programming language design.
