The full version of Turing's ACE was not built until after his death. [135] According to the memoirs of the German computer pioneer Heinz Billing from the Max Planck Institute for Physics, published by Genscher, Düsseldorf, there was a meeting between Turing and Konrad Zuse. [136] It took place in Göttingen in 1947. The interrogation had the ...
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.
Mathematician Alan Turing, whose cracking of a Nazi code helped the Allies to win World War Two but who committed suicide after being convicted for homosexuality, will appear on the Bank of ...
Codebreaker, also known as Britain's Greatest Codebreaker, is a 2011 television docudrama aired on Channel 4 about the life of Alan Turing.The film had a limited release in the U.S. beginning on 17 October 2012.
The rainbow flag flew proudly Thursday above the Bank of England in the heart of London's financial district to commemorate World War II codebreaker Alan Turing, the new face of Britain's 50-pound ...
Turing, a key figure at second world war code breaking facility Bletchley Park, picked from an illustrious list of nominees including Paul Dirac, Ada Lovelace, Stephen Hawking, and Ernest Rutherford.
Turing said of the book's topic that "at its heart is a story about people – in some cases, intriguing and eccentric people – bound up in wider events they could not themselves control". The book makes the argument that the British narrative had "pushed the role of the Polish code-breakers into the shadows".
A biography published by the Royal Society shortly after Turing's death, [3] while his wartime work was still subject to the Official Secrets Act, recorded: . Three remarkable papers written just before the war, on three diverse mathematical subjects, show the quality of the work that might have been produced if he had settled down to work on some big problem at that critical time.
