The concept of an abstract function began to emerge with calculus in the late 1600s, and became more solidified in the 1700s—but basically always in the context of continuous arguments. And in doing this I quickly solidified my knowledge of mathematical logic and the (then-fledgling) field of theoretical computer science.

But it really wasn’t physics, or computer science, or math, or biology, or economics, or any known field.

And the same issue arose for Alonzo Church’s lambda calculus (introduced around 1930).

Such abstract functions could be used both “symbolically” to represent things, and explicitly to “compute” things. All sorts of (often ornate) formalism was developed in mathematical logic, with combinators arriving in 1920 , and lambda calculus in 1935.

For some reason, it’s a common belief that everyone who goes into fields such as math, economics or computer science is brilliant, probably in part because those fields are financially rewarding, Miller-Cotto says.

Once one has the idea of “equilibrium”, one can then start to think of its properties as purely being functions of certain parameters—and this opens up all sorts of calculus-based mathematical opportunities.
