About this video

Abstract: Until the work of Bletchley Park was made public, the mathematical world thought of the war years as ‘wasted’ for Alan Turing. Now we know all about the battle against Enigma – but what, exactly, did Alan Turing do during the war, and what mathematics was involved?

Part of the LMS Society Meeting 'Diverse Perspectives on Alan Turing' which took place on Friday 4 March 2022 at De Morgan House, London and online.
