Alan Turing (1912–1954) Alan Turing was a mathematician, logician, and computer scientist who was a key figure in the development of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. During World War II, he played a crucial role in breaking the Enigma code, which was vital for the Allied war effort. Turing's work laid the groundwork for modern computing and cryptography. His concept of the Turing machine is a fundamental model in the theory of computation, and his legacy is celebrated in the annual Turing Award, known as the "Nobel Prize of Computing." #stem #computerprogramming #computerscience #cryptography #science
