Abstract
Efficient implementations of sets and maps (dictionaries) are important in computer science, and balanced binary search trees are the basis of the best practical implementations. Pedagogically, however, they are often quite complicated, especially with respect to deletion. I present complete code (with justification and analysis not previously available in the literature) for a purely-functional implementation based on AA trees, which is the simplest treatment of the subject of which I am aware.
