Haskell Curry
Haskell Brooks Curry ( ; September 12, 1900 – September 1, 1982) was an American
mathematician,
logician and
computer scientist. Curry is best known for his work in
combinatory logic, whose initial concept is based on a paper by
Moses Schönfinkel, for which Curry did much of the development. Curry is also known for
Curry's paradox and the
Curry–Howard correspondence. Named for him are three
programming languages:
Haskell,
Brook, and
Curry, and the concept of ''
currying'', a method to transform functions, used in
mathematics and
computer science.
