After getting the lambda chair emails, I had to show it to my students. (After flipping it horizontally, of course.) One of the students asked, "Why is it lambda and not some other Greek letter?" Does anyone know if Church had anything in mind for lambda to stand for, or was it just an arbitrary choice? Todd
