    I came across the term "currying" in my Prog. Lang. Course, in 
Scheme and Lambda Calculus. 

It was essentially breaking up say n arguments to a function as n functions
taking one argument each, but both methods producing the same result,

eg

	(lambda (x y z)  body)  

         (lambda (x) (lambda (y) ( lambda (z)  body) body) body)
