Alan Turing Analysis of the man
Not a man of material. Used a piece of rope as a belt.
Placed little importance upon wealth or social class. Although, by birthright, was a member of the upper class.
He lived for scientific study and the search for truths. From early youth, had a great understanding for science. But . . Lethargic and lacked motivation because elementary
education (although considered exceptional by most) was largely unchallenging to Turing.
Fixed everything Stopwatch and jogging

The Driving Force 1930: Became obsessed with Death of childhood friend
Christopher Morcum Determined to be the underlying motivation for all his future study.
1933: studied mathematical based reasoning, general analysis, quantum physics, logic (Cambridge).
1935: hypothesized about a method or process by which all mathematical questions could be decided or solved
Invented the “Definite Method” Methodical Process focusing on the idea of something done
mechanically based on a theoretical machine able to perform certain precisely defined operations on paper tape.

Developed this hypothesis in response to Hilbert’s Idea of Decidability. (one method for all ?’s)
Proved Hilbert wrong and created his own “Definite Method” Definition
1936 Turing’s discovery stolen by would-be fame seeker Alonzo Church
Church’s Theory, however, didn’t include procedural operations in the physical world (relied too heavily on math) In other words, empirically-supported data

The Turing Machine Turing then worked in isolation to enhance
he and Church’s earlier discoveries. Result: Turing made a bridge between the
logical and physical worlds, thought and action, which crossed conventional boundaries.
His work introduced concept of Turing Machine Idea Infinite number of “Turing Machines” each
based on its own algorithm or instructions

The Turing Machine /Cont./
The Universal Turing Machine embodies essential principals of the computer. Single machine which can be turned to any well
defined task by being supplied with the appropriate program or set of instructions

Computers in the modern sense did not exist in 1936. Modern being the kinds of electronic technology we see
today. Invented Morphogenesis Created first “Electronic Computer” or Turing
Machine to cipher or decode messages (Bombe). True to the “Universal” Turing Machine Concept Machine would decode German war messages
(Enigma).
