Abstract
Crucial experiments have a long history of contributions to progress in physics. Similarly, we claim that in the period roughly from 1955 to 1985 crucial calculations played a significant role in setting the agenda for elementary particle physics. The highlights of the contributions of theoretical physics to the achievement of the standard model is emphasized
