Alan Turing - II
Alan Turing (1912-54) was an English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst and computer scientist. He was highly influential in the development of computer science and is widely considered to be the father of both computer science and artificial intelligence. He was also the man who, with his team, broke the code of the highly complex Enigma and Lorenz cipher machines, which kept German military and strategic communications secret during the Second World War.
This is a detail from an outstanding life-size sculpture created from half a million pieces of slate by Stephen Kettle. It's to be found in the Block B museum at Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes.
I’ve gone into a little more detail about Alan Turing here. It’s a tragic, yet inspirational, story.
