Turing's Legacy
"What Alan Turing means to us", The Alan Turing Institute.
Impact
"A life summed up all-too-imperfectly in eleven words: 'Father of Computer Science; Mathematician; Logician; Wartime Codebreaker; Victim of Prejudice.'"
- Alan Turing Institute
Alan Turing, computer scientist and WWII codebreaker, developed significant advancements in computer science and technology. Despite his contributions, he was convicted of homosexuality and chemically castrated. He committed suicide two years later.
"Alan Turing's work was not only a major contribution to the war effort, but it also laid the foundation for the modern computer and theoretical computer science. His legacy continues to be felt in many fields, including artificial intelligence and cryptography."
- Douglas Hofstadter, Pulitzer Prize winner
American Institute of Physics.
"Alan Turing's work was groundbreaking and set the stage for many of the technological advancements we take for granted today. His legacy continues to inspire future generations of scientists and thinkers."
