In this 2013 winner of the prestigious R.R. Hawkins Award from the
Association of American Publishers, as well as the 2013 PROSE Awards for
Mathematics and Best in Physical Sciences & Mathematics, also from the
AAP, readers will find many of the most significant contributions from
the four-volume set of the Collected Works of A. M. Turing. These
contributions, together with commentaries from current experts in a wide
spectrum of fields and backgrounds, provide insight on the significance
and contemporary impact of Alan Turing's work.
Offering a more modern perspective than anything currently available,
Alan Turing: His Work and Impact gives wide coverage of the many ways
in which Turing's scientific endeavors have impacted current research
and understanding of the world. His pivotal writings on subjects
including computing, artificial intelligence, cryptography,
morphogenesis, and more display continued relevance and insight into
today's scientific and technological landscape. This collection provides
a great service to researchers, but is also an approachable entry point
for readers with limited training in the science, but an urge to learn
more about the details of Turing's work.
