Description
Alan Turing: A Life of Computing and Philosophy Andrew Hodges presents a fascinating account of Alan Turing's remarkable life and work. Turing's 1936 paper On Computable Numbers laid the foundation for modern computing, while his codebreaking work during WW2 had a lasting impact on his later pioneering of electronic computers. Hodges provides a fresh analysis of Turing's ideas, exploring their significance in both philosophy and computer science.
