 | | The most important forms are beta reduction (application of a lambda abstraction to one or more argument expressions) and delta reduction (application of a mathematical function to the required number of arguments). |
 | | An evaluation strategy (or reduction strategy), determines which part of an expression (which redex) to reduce first. |
 | | See graph reduction, string reduction, normal order reduction, applicative order reduction, parallel reduction, alpha conversion, beta conversion, delta conversion, eta conversion. |
