For shapes with curved edges, calculus is usually required to determine the area. The problem of finding out the area of plane figures, simple or complex, was an important motivation for the historical development of calculus. I've pulled a few lessons from this CD-ROM, called Historical Modules for the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics, which I highly recommend. Linking the professional accomplishments of these men with those personal parts of their lives that even they may have deemed inappropriate for public discussion, my hope is to create a queer archive that links foundational developments in the history of computer science to explicitly queer figures and politics. Montague's work showed how with a higher-typed logic and the lambda-calculus (or other ways to talk about functions), NPs could in principle be uniformly interpreted as generalized quantifiers (sets of sets). He was a foundational figure in computer science, and a pioneer of programming language design based on mathematical logic and the Lambda calculus. SW: Would you summarize the significance of your paper in layman's terms? Finally, we trace the historical development of heuristics and propose 10 simple heuristics which we see as crucial to human decision making. MathFest features 'Calculus: The Musical'. But Chomsky (1955) rebuffed the invitation, arguing that the artificial languages invented by logicians were too unlike natural languages for any methods the logicians had developed to have any chance of being useful for developing linguistic theory.
