Alan Turing has done some major accomplishments in his life. He was not only a mathematician but also a cryptographer and developed computer science. He was mostly famous for breaking the German Enigma code during World War II. The Enigma was a device that allowed the Germans to send messages without being exposed. During World War II, Germans were communicating through this enigma. They talked about who was their next target and highly classified things that they didn’t want their enemies to know. Alan was able to crack the code, which was extremely difficult since the cipher system was changed every day. Alan Turing and his knowledge of computer science affected millions and saved countless lives. If it wasn’t for him for cracking the German Enigma Code, the war would’ve gone on for a couple of more years. …show more content…
This machine was a great invention because even after Alan was gone, they were able to use Bombe and crack more codes. From the mid-1940s, German signals were being read, which gave them the intelligence to help win the war. He also created the Turing Machine. The Turing machine was invented in 1936, it was a simple computer model. Turing created this machine, so he could use it to solve different mathematical equations and choose a formal language. With the computer, he also developed a computer brain. This meant that Turing wanted to build a computer that was able to do multiple things, such as solve algebraic equations, code breaking, handling flies to even playing
