Abstract

Ordnung muss sein. Beim Baden bitteschön streng nach Geschlechtern getrennt, doch in der Wissenschaft zählt nur, was auf der Tafel steht. Jedenfalls für den Mathematiker David Hilbert, der seine brillante Kollegin Emmy Noether in Göttingen als Professorin durchsetzen wollte. Doch nicht nur damit war er seiner Zeit voraus (der Antrag wurde natürlich abgelehnt) - Hilbert hatte für die moderne Naturwissenschaft etwas denselben Stellenwert wie Pablo Picasso für die moderne Kunst. In Göttingen gaben sich bei diesem merkwürdigen Genie die bedeutendsten Köpfe die Klinke in die Hand: Einstein, Bohr, Heisenberg, Gödels Sätze über die Unvollständigkeit der Mathematik und Alan Turings Weg zur universellen Rechenmaschine - alles lässt sich hierher zurückverfolgen

Abstract

Alan Turing is regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. But who was Turing, and what did he achieve during his tragically short life of 41 years? Best known as the genius who broke Germany's most secret codes during the war of 1939-45, Turing was also the father of the modern computer. Today, all who 'click- to-open' are familiar with the impact of Turing's ideas. Here, B. Jack Copeland provides an account of Turing's life and work, exploring the key elements of his life-story in tandem with his leading ideas and contributions. The book highlights Turing's contributions to computing and to computer science, including Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life, and the emphasis throughout is on the relevance of his work to modern developments. The story of his contributions to codebreaking during the Second World War is set in the context of his thinking about machines, as is the account of his work in the foundations of mathematics.
