    Alan Turing was born in England in 1912, and loved everything to do with code. Turing devoted his life to learning about the code and the the deciphering of Enigma. Turing used the Bombe machine from the Poles, a machine designed specifically to break Enigma. Turing knew he had to use this machine because no human would be able to think fast enough to break the code. This machine is

    This memorial commemorates Alan Turing and the other contributors of Bletchley Park. Turing was a British mathematician and cryptologist. It honors their creation of the computer that cracked the German coded messages. His deciphering of the messages saved approximately 14 million lives and shaved 2-4 years off of the war. After the war was over, his service was classified for many years and he never received the recognition he should have. In 1952 Turing was arrested for homosexuality and sentened

    the movie that were true and false in Alan Turing’s life. Although, most of his work is shrouded in mystery, we still have quite a bit of history on the man. Firstly, in the movie, we are showed that Alan has feelings for his dear friend Christopher and that Turing attends an all-boys-academy. This, in fact, is true. Christopher did genuinely exist and the school at which they attended was called Sherborne School in Dorset. In the film we learned that Alan Turing was a homosexual, scared and closeted

    Alan Turing is known to be the father of the modern computer, and the skewed depiction of his relationship between him and his machine in the “Imitation Game (2015)” displays as to why Alan Turing may have had a keen interest in the idea of a machine's ability to “obtain” human consciousness. Alan Turing develops, and presents his Turing Test in his article “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” that entails having three groups: one of them is the machine, the other is a human, and the last is a

    was an interesting question, but I did not think much of it. I simply wanted to study math my entire life, but when am I going to use all this math? My first answer to this question appeared in “The Imitation Game,” a movie about Alan Turing. I learned how Alan Turing used math to create a machine to break the enigma code in World War II. It was an interesting depiction on how math was used to save lives. More, unexpected applications of math enlightened my mind to learn more. I could use it in

    thrills. Alan Turing successfully attempts to break the enigma code which leads to 14 million lives being saved and the war being shortened by 2 years. Conflict is all over this film emotionally and physically, externally and internally, especially in the protagonist's case, Alan Turing, who isn't exactly a straight forward character. As humans we generally feel sympathy towards any human, creature, or thing that is unfairly put against or struggles against the odds just like Alan Turing in the film

    of mathematician Alan Turing is one of extreme feats and tragedy. Even from a young age, Turing was misunderstood and unappreciated, and this became a common theme all the way to his death at the young age of 41. Alan Turing envisions a digital world centuries ahead of his time. Everything he did still has a major impact on our modern day world. Yet his impact is still unrecognized. Alan Mathison Turing was born on June 23, 1912 in Maida Vale, London. Even from a young age Turing showed signs of
