Lambda (upper case Λ, lower case λ) is the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet.
The language Unlambda is a functional programming language based upon combinatory logic, a simplification of the lambda calculus that does not involve the lambda at all, hence the un- prefix.

The lambda calculus is too high-level: a single reduction is the primitive operation in the lambda calculus, but cannot be implemented in constant time in general.
LAMBDA CALCULUS SYNTAX A lambda expression is either (1) an identifier, or (2) an abstraction of the form \x.E where x is an identifier and E is a lambda expression, or (3) an application of the form EF where E and F are lambda expressions.

 lambda calculus - a Whatis.com definition
Lambda calculus, considered to be the mathematical basis for programming language, is a calculus developed by Alonzo Church and Stephen Kleene in the 1930s to express all computable functions.
The language deals with the application of a function to its arguments (a function is a set of rules) and expresses any entity as either a variable, the application of one function to another, or as a "lambda abstraction" (a function in which the Greek letter lambda is defined as the abstraction operator).
Lambda calculus, and the closely related theories of combinators and type systems, are important foundations in the study of mathematics, logic, and computer programming language.
