Biography (Early Life): Alan Turing was born in June 23, 1912. At his early age he was separated from his parents due to the fact that they had been working overseas. When he was 13, he was to sent to Sherborne School which was a boarding school located in Dorset. The education system that was run there meant that his scientific mind wasn’t given any kind of encouragement and so he studied advanced science ideas by himself which was far ahead of the schools’ timetable and what he should’ve been learning at the time. He became less bored with school when he became attracted to another student called Christopher Morcom which meant he communicated more and became an academic success. However, Christopher suddenly died from tuberculosis. Turing was devastated by this and wanted to believe that he still lived on and his…

Alan Turing was misunderstood, to say the least. The man we now regard as the father of modern computer science was heavily criticized and discouraged during his life for various reasons. Nonetheless, Turing was an incomparable mathematician way ahead of his time, and he made major contributions to the math and technology fields, helping win World War II and creating a path for modern computers to become a reality. We recognize him today with great honor and respect, but throughout his lifetime,…

Alan Turing, the man widely considered the father of artificial intelligence, proved to be a child prodigy as early as age 6, saved thousands of lives in the second great war, set the stage for what we perceive as the modern day personal computer, made advancements in Biology just as well as computer science, and died to suicide after being charged with “gross Indecency” by the very government he helped during the war. How could someone go from being as vital of a person, as Winston Churchill…

Alan Turing was a rather exceptional mathematician and scientist who played a crucial role in the development of both modern computing and artificial intelligence. While arguably his most famed achievement is the well known Turing Test he accomplished a bevy of feats in his time. From an early age Mr. Turing displayed an inquisitive mind which was further nurtured and developed as he went off to college where his unusual mind was already beginning to shine. Displaying a startling firm grasp of…

Alan Turing has been named one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. A small Manchester road is named in his honor, as are many colleges. Alan Turing was a great mathematician and code decipherer. He was a part of a group that helped end War World II. During WWII, the Germans made a decoding machine, Enigma, for many German messages for plans or communication. It took Turing and his team more than two years to crack the code of Enigma. Alan Turing took a stand against Germany by…

Alan Mathison Turing was one of the greatest mathematicians to have served this world. Without Turing, World War 2 would've raged on for about two to four more years. With Alan Turing's invention of the "Colossus", he was able to break the German code of Enigma. The "Colossus" deciphered the message that came from the German machine the Enigma. With the "Colossus", he saved up to ten to twenty-one million lives. He's a hero of World War 2 and a hero to countless people who could've been a…

"Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of that do the things no one can imagine." The successful mathematician Alan Turing once said this. Faced with many obstacles and critics in his life, he proved this to be true. Many people never thought he would accomplish his ideas, and even as a child he was discouraged from practicing and learning science. Later in life, he made machines and proved theories no one believed were possible. Alan Turing was born on June 23, 1912 in…

Drew Vlasnik Mrs. Mihalik Honors English 9 31 March 2017 Alan Turing: The Unappreciated Computer Genius In 2014, a new film The Imitation Game shed light to the impact an English mathematician brought to society nearly seventy years previous. Prior to its release, the name Alan Turing and its significance remained secluded to nearly the entire general public. He is considered a founder of computer technology, being the first to breathe life into the newborn field at the time. Furthermore,…

Alan Turing on June 23, 1912, in Maida Vale, London England. At a young age, he displayed signs of high intelligence, which some of his teachers actually recognized it, but did not really respect the fact that he was in fact intelligent. When Turing attended the Sherborne School at the age of 13 he became primarily interested in math and science. After Sherborne, Turing enrolled at King's College or known as the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England, he studied there from 1931 to 1934. …

Outline the key events and achievements in the lifetime of the chosen engineer. 1) Alan Turing was a computer scientist, mathematician, philosopher and most famously known as a code breaker. Alan Turing began his career at King's College in 1935, and took a mathematics degree in which he gained a first-class honours. In 1936, Turing invented the idea of a Universal Machine which could decode and perform any set of instructions. 2 years later, in 1939, Turing returned to Britain to join the…
