'The purpose of the present paper is to show that the computable functions introduced by the author [in On computable numbers] are identical with the lambda-definable functions of Church and the general recursive functions due to Herband and Gödel and developed by Kleene.' This paper represents a fuller explanation of the appendix published in On computable numbers, linking both Church's and Turing's independent research.
