Normalization for simply-typed \lambda-calculus

As explained in its main page, normalization for type theories can be given in two ways:

This page is about proving normalization for the simply-typed \lambda-calculus. As a result, it was first obtained by Tait 1967. However, there have been many other approaches since.
