Who was called as father of computer?
Alan Turing is considered by many to be the "father" of the modern computer because of his work in breaking the Enigma codes during WW2. (Alan Turing - The Enigma of Intelligence by Andrew Hodges 1983)
What british mathematician broke the German codes in ww II?
He didn't do it by himself, but Alan Turing played a key role in breaking the German codes during WWII. Turing is recognized by many (although not all) as the Father of Artificial Intelligence. Among those who played a key role in breaking the Enigma code and the Lorenz code were a group of Polish mathematicians who had been spirited out of France? by the British so that the Germans would not capture them.
What year did Alan Turing invent his computer?
Alan Turing's invention of the programmable digital computer appeared in his 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers". However as it was only used as part of his main proof on computability in that paper, he never considered how such a machine might actually be built and made to work. Many years later this type of computer architecture was named a "Turing Machine".After his World War 2 work at Bletchley Park and his exposure to Tommy Flowers' codebreaking programmable electronic digital computers called "Colossus", Alan Turing helped design and build stored program electronic digital computers (these were not based on his earlier "Turing Machine" invention).
How many pages does The Annotated Turing have?
The Annotated Turing has 372 pages.
What is the role of Alan turing in computer science?
Alan had many pioneering roles, two of the most important is: 1. Defining all programs as a "Turing machine", a machine with a definite stopping condition. 2. Answering the Question , "Can a Machine Think?", with his communicating with a partner behind a curtain, man or machine. Watson and SIRI are latest answers.
Who are the people contributed on the inventions of computer?
Alan Turing? Also Tony Hoare, Alfred Aho, Brian Kernighan, Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, Simon Peyton Jones, Richard Stallman, Peter Norvig, Linus Torvalds, Donald Knuth, Peter Norton, and many other people from the hardware field.
Who was the father of modern computers?
There are many candidates and they all have their advocates. Among the leading contenders for the (practically meaningless) title, Charles Babbage, Konrad Zuse, John Atanasoff and John von Neumann. "Success has many fathers; failure is an orphan." Alan Turing is generally recognized as "the father of computer science", which some people confuse with "the father of modern computers". Computer science is to computers as astronomy is to telescopes. Alan Turing. John von Neumann Charles Babbage is the father of modern day computers. Charles Babbage
Who is the father of computer system?
The father of the computer system is Charles Babbage. However, there are many people who have made major contributions in the development of computers including Alan Turing, John Von and John Atanasoff among others.
What would you do a 'turing test' for?
"Turing tests are usually used to solve philosophical, behavioral, sociological or religious questions. Books have been written about how Turing tests apply to physics, technology and many aspects of human behavior."
How many codes should you enter in an action replays each day?
As many as you like, it wont break if you add too many in.
Is it gay to idolize a gay man?
No, gay people can be idolized for their contributions to society. For example, many computer scientists consider Alan Turing (the man who cracked the Nazis's Enigma code-machine in WWII) an idol for his contributions to the field of computer science.
What is the Best contribution of Alan Turing?
Turing played a pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements, including the Battle of the Atlantic, and in so doing helped win the war. His work enabled the Enigma to be decoded - By early 1942, the team at Bletchley Park were decoding up to 39,000 Enigma messages a month. Eventually this number rose to 84,000 or about two messages decoded every minute. Turing's war work is believed to have shortened the war - Many people, including Winston Churchill, claimed that Turing's work shortened the Second World War by at least two years. Turing was a member of the team which decoded the 'Fish' cipher - The 'Fish' cipher which was used towards the end of the war by the German High Command to transmit messages between Hitler and senior officers in the field.
