Alan Turing has long proved a subject of fascination, but following the
centenary of his birth in 2012, the code-breaker, computer pioneer,
mathematician (and much more) has become even more celebrated with much
media coverage, and several meetings, conferences and books raising
public awareness of Turing's life and work.
This volume will bring together contributions from some of the leading
experts on Alan Turing to create a comprehensive guide to Turing that
will serve as a useful resource for researchers in the area as well as
the increasingly interested general reader. The book will cover aspects
of Turing's life and the wide range of his intellectual activities,
including mathematics, code-breaking, computer science, logic,
artificial intelligence and mathematical biology, as well as his
subsequent influence.
