Description
Alan Turing's collected works comprise four volumes, including this third installment, Morphogenesis. Written decades ago, these papers address major issues still relevant today in fields such as computer architecture and software engineering. Turing made significant contributions to pure mathematics and mathematical logic, with his work on morphogenesis in plants being particularly notable for its originality and lasting importance. The papers included in this volume offer a unique insight into Turing's research and thinking at the time. This collection provides an opportunity to engage with the ideas of one of the leading figures of 20th-century science, whose wartime work was previously shrouded in secrecy due to the British Official Secrets Act.
