Publisher Description
Alan Turing ranks as one of the most brilliant of twentieth-century mathematicians. He is perhaps best known as one of the founding fathers of two fields of mathematics with enormous implications in the modern world: computer science and artificial intelligence. In addition, Turings work in decoding the German spy machine known as the Enigma was arguably one of the most important accomplishments in bringing World War II to a successful conclusion for the United States, Great Britain, and their Allies.
Customer Reviews
Excellent short biography
The lack of proof reading is very distracting but this story reads well and covers Turing's life and work well without getting too far into the complexities of computers. An important intellect that has not received the acclaim it deserves in history. Well worth reading!
