Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (/ ˈtjʊərɪŋ /; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist. [ 5 ] He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation ...
The British bombe was an electromechanical device designed by Alan Turing soon after he arrived at Bletchley Park in September 1939. Harold "Doc" Keen of the British Tabulating Machine Company (BTM) in Letchworth (35 kilometres (22 mi) from Bletchley) was the engineer who turned Turing's ideas into a working machine—under the codename CANTAB ...
Turingery. Turingery[1] or Turing's method[2] (playfully dubbed Turingismus by Peter Ericsson, Peter Hilton and Donald Michie [3]) was a manual codebreaking method devised in July 1942 [4] by the mathematician and cryptanalyst Alan Turing at the British Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park during World War II. [5][6] It was for ...
Banburismus. Banburismus was a cryptanalytic process developed by Alan Turing at Bletchley Park in Britain during the Second World War. [ 1 ] It was used by Bletchley Park's Hut 8 to help break German Kriegsmarine (naval) messages enciphered on Enigma machines.
The Alan Turing Institute was founded following a letter from the Council for Science and Technology (CST) to the UK prime minister (7 June 2013), describing the "Age of Algorithms". The letter presented a case that "The Government, working with the universities and industry, should create a National Centre to promote advanced research and ...
Aspect of Alan Turing's life. Turing c. 1928 at age 16. Alan TuringOBE FRS(/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was an English[1]mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, and theoretical biologist. He left an extensive legacy in mathematics, science, society and popular culture. Awards, honours, and tributes.
The Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) was a British early electronic serial stored-program computer design by Alan Turing. Turing completed the ambitious design in late 1945, having had experience in the years prior with the secret Colossus computer at Bletchley Park. The ACE was not built, but a smaller version, the Pilot ACE, was constructed ...
11516745. Dewey Decimal. 510.92. LC Class. QA29.T8H63. Alan Turing: The Enigma (1983) is a biography of the British mathematician, codebreaker, and early computer scientist, Alan Turing (1912–1954) by Andrew Hodges. The book covers Alan Turing's life and work. The 2014 film The Imitation Game is loosely based on the book, with dramatization.
