Haskell Brooks Curry (; September 12, 1900 – September 1, 1982) was an American mathematician and logician.
Curry is best known for his work in combinatory logic.
While the initial concept of combinatory logic was based on a single paper by Moses Schönfinkel, Curry did much of the development.
Curry is also known for Curry's paradox and the Curry–Howard correspondence.
There are three programming languages named after him, Haskell, Brook and Curry, as well as the concept of currying, a technique used for transforming functions in mathematics and computer science.
