Zusatztext A worthwhile addition to the growing body of material on Turing and related historical aspects of computing. The Essential Turing is a must for any library or individual wanting a comprehensive academic collection on Turing computation. Klappentext Alan Turing was one of the most important and influential thinkers of the 20th century. This volume makes his key writings available to a non-specialist readership for the first time. They make fascinating reading both in their own right and for their historic significance: contemporary computational theory! cognitive science! and artificial intelligence life all spring from this ground-breaking work. Zusammenfassung The papers in this book are the key works for understanding Alan Turing's phenomenal contribution across the fields of mathematics! computing! artifical intelligence and artifical life. They include the declassified wartime "Treatise on Enigma"! letters to Churchill! lectures and broadcasts.
