Alan Turing: Breaking the Unbreakable Code The date was May 7th, 1945 when Germany officially surrendered to the Allied Powers to end the Second World War, and while this victory was accredited to the military convergence of powerful Allied nations and leaders, one important contributor was overlooked: Alan Turing. As time proceeded forward, immensely intelligent individuals such as Steve Jobs and Bill Gates emerged into the digitized era, bringing along with them the birth and technological diffusion

Benjamin Dahl Can Machines Think? Alan Turing’s simple explanation of the imitation game is as follows: the game consists of three participants. Participant A is a man, participant B is a woman, and participant C is the interrogator (can be a man or woman). In the Imitation Game, participant C is placed in a different room from participant A and B (they are represented as X and Y). The interrigator can communicate with them via written notes. By asking questions of participant A and participant

The Hoang Professor Raymond P.Hicks EMLS 112 21 November 2017 The similarities between Alan Turing and Grace Hopper Alan Turing and Grace Hopper are considered two of the most famous pioneer in computer science, it’s because of their contribution in the past that mankind can achieve lots of great things and have a peaceful life as we know. Alan Turing is the person who invented the Turing Machine which is the hypothetical machine that every modern computer nowadays all base on. Grace Hopper is the

Introduction Within the last thirty years, the pioneering British computer scientist and Cambridge academic Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954) has undergone an astonishing cultural reappraisal. Turing was never particularly famous during his own lifetime, and almost forgotten for two decades after his passing. But his work on cryptography at Bletchley Park, his key 1937 paper On Computable Numbers, and his early digital machines such as the programmable Pilot ACE and his 1947-1954 work at the University

Introduction Within the last thirty years, the pioneering British computer scientist and Cambridge academic Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954) has undergone an astonishing cultural reappraisal. Turing was never particularly famous during his own lifetime, but his work on cryptography at Bletchley Park, his key 1936 paper On Computable Numbers, and his early digital machines such as the programmable Pilot ACE and his 1947-1954 work at the University of Manchester was unquestionably used and appreciated

In his paper “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” Alan Turing sets out to answer the question of whether machines can think in the same humans can by conceptualizing the question in concrete terms. In simple terms, Turing redefines the question by posing whether a machine can replicate the cognition of a human being. Yet, some may object to the notion that Turing’s new question effectively captures the nature of machines’ capacity for thought or consciousness, such as John Searle. In his Chinese

Alan Turing was born in Paddington, London on June 23, 1912. However, he spent most of the childhood away from his parents, Julius Turing and Ethel Sara Stoney. This time was spent at a boarding school. Beginning at age 14, he began to attend Sherborne School and continued until the age of 19. During his time there, Christopher Morcom, became a close friend of Turing, but died of Bovine Tuberculosis not long after they met. Turing was awarded a scholarship to King's College in Cambridge when

it. Alan Turing, mathematician and the creator of early computers, exemplifies success. He has been credited with the quote, “Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine,”. And he has done the unimaginable. Alan Turing grew up in a time riddled with German war crimes, during World War I (“World”). This could

Alan Turing “Alan Turing (1912-54) was a British mathematician who made history. His breaking of the German U-boat Enigma cipher in World War II ensured Allied-American control of the Atlantic.” Alan Turing has made a great impact on the development of theoretical computer science, provided a formalization of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer

Recently, I watched the movie The Imitation Game and the main character was Alan Turing, who actually lived back in the early to mid 1900’s. Alan Turing was an intelligent mathematician who belonged to a group of individuals that were given the task of decrypting the Nazi enigma machine. He built his own machine in order to decode the enigma. Turing was not a very social guy, often making others feel uncomfortable in conversation with his odd responses. Many times, he thought of himself as much more
