Hey guys, I see this term being used a bit, and a Google search didn't quite yield the most clarity, so help me out: forFor a person without a comp-sci background, what is a lambda in the world of Computer Science?

UPDATE:

marxidad, thanks for the reply--it seems to be climbing up in everyone's favor, so I'll likely accept it soon. Do you have any "real-life" examples, possibly in a few languages (perhaps in one that doesn't use the lambda keyword, too)?
