Description
Alan Turing's life was marked by remarkable achievements in mathematics and computing, yet his name remained relatively unknown until the 1970s. This centenary edition of his mother's biography offers new insights into Turing's personal relationships and sheds light on the man behind the groundbreaking code-breaking work.
The contrast between this memoir and the original biography reveals tensions within Turing's family and provides a fresh perspective on his life. A foreword by Martin Davis adds to the richness of this publication, making it an ideal choice for those interested in the history of computing and mathematics.
