Schoenfinkel's combinatory algebra 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1924
Genus: Algebraic
Sammet category: Excluded from Sammet


A combinatory calculus that showed that three combinators (S, K and I) were all that was needed to express the caclulus.

Partly picked up by Church (the formalism of the function being used for the Lambda Calculus) and partly picked up by Curry (the combinatorial aspect)
