- lambda calculusAny of a family of functionally complete algebraic systems in which lambda expressions are evaluated according to a fixed set of rules to produce values, which may themselves be lambda expressions.
- lambda functionAn anonymous function; a function that is defined in an inline, ad-hoc manner, and often doesn't have a name (not bound to an identifier).
- Lambda variantThe C.37 strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.
- lambda expressionAn algebraic expression representing a function by binding one or more parameters to an expression which may contain those parameters.

- lambda particlelambda baryon
- lambda baryonAny of three particles, having no electric charge and an isotopic spin of 1, composed of an up quark, down quark and either a strange quark, a charm quark or a bottom quark.
- lambda abstractionA lambda term of the form (λx.t) where x is a variable and t another lambda term. Any free instance of x within t (considered by itself) then becomes bound by the λx. prefix. It is meant to represent an anonymous function.
