Abstract: I formalise a Church-style simply-typed \(\lambda\)-calculus, extended with pairs, a unit value, and projection functions, and show some metatheory of the calculus, such as the subject reduction property. Particular attention is paid to the treatment of names in the calculus. A nominal style of binding is used, but I use a manual approach over Nominal Isabelle in order to extract an executable type inference algorithm. More information can be found in my undergraduate dissertation.
