'''Haskell Brooks Curry''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|æ|s|k|əl}} {{respell|HAS|kəl}}; September 12, 1900 – September 1, 1982) was an American [[mathematician]], [[logic]]ian and [[computer scientist]]. Curry is best known for his work in [[combinatory logic]], whose initial concept is based on a paper by [[Moses Schönfinkel]],{{sfn|Schönfinkel |1924}} 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 language]]s: [[Haskell]], [[BrookGPU|Brook]], and [[Curry (programming language)|Curry]], and the concept of ''[[currying]]'', a method to transform functions, used in [[mathematics]] and [[computer science]].
