Haskell Curry

American mathematician and logician (1900-1982) · United States · On the map · Academics · Died at 81

Haskell Brooks Curry was an American mathematician and computer scientist. Curry is best known for his work in combinatory logic. Although its initial concept was based on a paper by Moses Schönfinkel, Curry did much of the development. Curry is also known for Curry's paradox and the Curry-Howard correspondence.

Haskell Curry is read about 104 times a day, in 27 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 104 days, one point a day.
