Mt. Lambda
Mt. Lambda is located to the east of RIMS, Kyoto Univ..
The name is derived from the letter `Lambda' written on the centre
of the mountain. On every August, a lot of bonfires are placed on
the letter. Around functional programmers, it is believed that
a god of lambda calculus lives there.
Important note
Some people insist that on sunny day, sometimes it looks like
a letter `Great' in Japanese instead of `Lambda'.
But they say that such days are very rare.
