Technological During World War II: Was the Enigma Machine the Start of the Computer Age? It is true that the loss of life sorely exceeds the individual developments and inventions in technology; but as a whole, technology exceeded most expectations that occurred during the infancy of these advancements. Most of the technology created was meant to hurt one population or another, but it has impacted all of our lives in a positive way since. Possibly the worst time in the history of the world, we…

Since the dawn of sending and receiving messages, people have had a need for keeping the information they send out to remain private and out of the hands of others. This need for security is the reason the field of cryptography was developed, from its early stages of moving letters around in words to the present use of computer programming to keep certain data safe. Cryptography is the reason we can securely use many day to day applications, but with all these developments come issues of…

With the example of the Turing Machine, the boundary between government institutions and scientific discovery is found in the mutual desire to put the Allied forces in a more advantageous position than those of the Axis Powers; in this instance, this mutual desire allowed for two seemingly…

Divide and Conquer Strategies: Divide and conquer is an algorithm which design paradigm based on multi-branched recursion. This designed paradigm consists of following phases: 1) Break the problem (divide): Breaking the problem into several sub-problems that are smaller in size. 2) Solve the sub problem(conquer) : Solve the sub-problem recursively . 3) Combine the solutions (Merge): Combine solutions to subproblems to create a solution to the original problem. This technique is the basis of…

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 victim of the war. Turing was famous for…

present was by showing the struggle behind the character’s failures. The first hour of The Imitation Game demonstrates the growing frustration of the team trying to break the enigma code. They try their hardest in every possible way they can, but they do not succeed until Turing miraculously discovers that the machine must be programmed to a word or phrase that it would be able to recognize in most, if not all, Nazi messages. I think the film has a decent way of portraying the mathematics, but…

Have you ever wondered if there could be an easier way to lift heavy objects without all the ropes, claws and wheels? Well not anymore, ever since the hydraulic crane which uses the force of water and pushes or pulls throughout the pipes and pulls up heavy items. This has been an innovation in the pulley and regular cranes. With something good there is one bad, if a person were to use pipes or steel which one would be more sustainable and last longer? As in all the other cranes this specific one…

comprehensive set of capabilities in the course projects and become an independent thinker through class discussions. Believing “Experience is the best teacher”, unlike other girls who lack of the ability of practice, I am totally in to it. I can write concise code, debug it, grab the key factor of the problem and be the first one who finish the experiments. To be even better equipped for future study, I seized every chance to participate in professor’s speech and communicate with scholars. Upon…

Science fiction as a literary genre has come a long way from Verne's search for the center of the earth and Wells' travel through time in his time machine. Contemporary science fiction is more willing to challenge the limits of possibilities and more eager to push the boundaries of human imagination. More importantly, science fiction often acts as a precursor to scientific thought, and forebodes new research; projects such as Google Glass can be traced to similar ideas presented much earlier in…

Alen Turing. Criptogropher from Cambridge who is hired to a group of men to break the Nazis enigma code. However he feels team ates will only slow him down, and after taking control of the group he starts by firing two men who he feels are inadequate for the job. His next step is to find new people to fill there positions by putting out a cross word puzzle to fish for canidates. Jone Clark becomes a part of the group along with another man. The story then flashes back to Allen's childhood where…
