Alan Turing was driven to a terrible despair and early death by the nation he'd done so much to save. This remains a shame on the British government and British history. A pardon can go some way to healing this damage. It may act as an apology to many of the other gay men, not as well-known as Alan Turing, who were subjected to these laws. [193]
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.
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 .
[2] [11] Having taught at Wadham since 1986, Hodges was elected a Fellow in 2007, and was appointed Dean of Wadham College from the start of the 2011/2012 academic year. [ citation needed ] In 2014 he joined the Pet Shop Boys on stage at the Royal Albert Hall for a standing ovation following the world premiere of A The Man from the Future [ 12 ...
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.
Alan Turing in the 1930s. Alan Turing was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist. [5] Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer.
Pilot ACE was built to a cut down version of Turing's full ACE design. After Turing left NPL (in part because he was disillusioned by the lack of progress on building the ACE), James H. Wilkinson took over the project. Donald Davies, Harry Huskey and Mike Woodger were involved with the design.
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.
