Turing machines were first proposed by British mathematician Alan Turing in 1936, and are a theoretical mathematical model of what it means for a system to "be a computer." In a paper published in the ...

And then came Turing’s work on finite-state automata. I n 1936, Turing published a paper in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society which proposed a theoretical “machine” (mathematical ...

The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...

Charles Petzold's book The Annotated Turing, which covers Turing's 1936 paper on computable numbers and much of the background material needed to understand it, is more than decent. As a result, I was ...

On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born. But ...
