Turing
Biography of alan turing (19121954) alan Mathison turing. Born 23 June 1912 in London, England Main index. alan turing was born at Paddington, London
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Turing.html

Extractions: Alan Turing was born at Paddington, London. His father, Julius Mathison Turing, was a British member of the Indian Civil Service and he was often abroad. Alan's mother, Ethel Sara Stoney, was the daughter of the chief engineer of the Madras railways and Alan's parents had met and married in India. When Alan was about one year old his mother rejoined her husband in India, leaving Alan in England with friends of the family. Alan was sent to school but did not seem to be obtaining any benefit so he was removed from the school after a few months. Next he was sent to Hazlehurst Preparatory School where he seemed to be an 'average to good' pupil in most subjects but was greatly taken up with following his own ideas. He became interested in chess while at this school and he also joined the debating society. He completed his Common Entrance Examination in 1926 and then went to Sherborne School. Now 1926 was the year of the general strike and when the strike was in progress Turing cycled 60 miles to the school from his home, not too demanding a task for Turing who later was to become a fine athlete of almost Olympic standard. He found it very difficult to fit into what was expected at this public school, yet his mother had been so determined that he should have a public school education. Many of the most original thinkers have found conventional schooling an almost incomprehensible process and this seems to have been the case for Turing. His genius drove him in his own directions rather than those required by his teachers.
The Church-Turing Thesis
alan turing s Forgotten Ideas in Computer Science. Church, Alonzo computing modern history of mind philosophy of turing, alan turing machine.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/church-turing/

Extractions: AUG There are various equivalent formulations of the Church-Turing thesis. A common one is that every effective computation can be carried out by a Turing machine. The Church-Turing thesis is often misunderstood, particularly in recent writing in the philosophy of mind. The Church-Turing thesis concerns the notion of an effective or mechanical M is set out in terms of a finite number of exact instructions (each instruction being expressed by means of a finite number of symbols); M will, if carried out without error, produce the desired result in a finite number of steps; M can (in practice or in principle) be carried out by a human being unaided by any machinery save paper and pencil; M demands no insight or ingenuity on the part of the human being carrying it out.

Extractions: In a set of interviews in 1992 with I. Jack Good and Donald Michie[2], both colleagues of Turing during his Bletchley Park sojourn, I led them to discuss their knowledge of Turing's homosexuality: Good: ... when we walked down King's Parade [in 1947] that was the first time I discovered that he was homosexual. That was when he said that he was going to Paris to "see a boy". It was obvious that he was admitting or proclaiming his homosexuality. Michie: At the same time I was thoroughly aware that the whole problem of converse with women was a great burden, and problem, for him. And I recall him explaining to me once, I didn't think he was homosexual as a result of this conversation, because I [saw him through] the eyes of a rather priggish young person (me) who had just left school and just experimenting with female company - I had grown up to look on women as undereducated relative to men, which to put it that way, which in perhaps to some extent in those days was the case. But he put it in a very grotesque way to me and said "you know, the problem is that you have to talk them", "If you take a girl out, you have to talk to her. And then so often when a woman says something, to me it is as though a frog has suddenly jumped out of her mouth." It was an extremely unpleasant metaphor.

TIME 100: Alan Turing
alan turing While addressing a problem in the arcane field of mathematical logic, he imagined a machine that could mimic human reasoning. Sound familiar?
http://www.time.com/time/time100/scientist/profile/turing.html

Extractions: Categories Leaders/Revol. Builders/Titans Scientiests/Thinkers Heroes/Icons The device in this inspired mind-experiment quickly acquired a name: the Turing machine. And so did another of Turing's insights. Since the instructions on the tape governed the behavior of the machine, by changing those instructions, one could induce the machine to perform the functions of all such machines. In other words, depending on the tape it scanned, the same machine could calculate numbers or play chess or do anything else of a comparable nature. Hence his device acquired a new and even grander name: the Universal Turing Machine. So many ideas and technological advances converged to create the modern computer that it is foolhardy to give one person the credit for inventing it. But the fact remains that everyone who taps at a keyboard, opening a spreadsheet or a word-processing program, is working on an incarnation of a Turing machine.

Extractions: related subjects Achievement Biography Alan Turing was born at Paddington, London. His father, Julius Mathison Turing, was a British member of the Indian Civil Service and he was often abroad. Alan's mother, Ethel Sara Stoney, was the daughter of the chief engineer of the Madras railways and Alan's parents had met and married in India. When Alan was about one year old his mother rejoined her husband in India, leaving Alan in England with friends of the family. Alan was sent to school but did not seem to be obtaining any benefit so he was removed from the school after a few months. He was criticised for his handwriting, struggled at English, and even in mathematics he was too interested with his own ideas to produce solutions to problems using the methods taught by his teachers. Despite producing unconventional answers, Turing did win almost every possible mathematics prize while at Sherborne. In chemistry, a subject which had interested him from a very early age, he carried out experiments following his own agenda which did not please his teacher. Turing's headmaster wrote (see for example [5]):- If he is to stay at Public School, he must aim at becoming educated. If he is to be solely a Scientific Specialist, he is wasting his time at a Public School.

The Turing Test
Proposal due to alan turing for a criterion of the presence of mind or consciousness; by Graham Oppy and David Dowe.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/turing-test/

Extractions: APR Discourse on the Method . (Copeland (2000:527) finds an anticipation of the test in the 1668 writings of the Cartesian de Cordemoy. Gunderson (1964) provides an early instance of those who find that Turing's work is foreshadowed in the work of Descartes.) In the Discourse , Descartes says: logically possible for an entity to pass the kinds of tests that Descartes and (at least allegedly) Turing have in mind to use words (and, perhaps, to act) in just the kind of way that human beings do and yet to be entirely lacking in intelligence, not possessed of a mind, etc. X Y X X is the person and Y X is the machine and Y X please tell me whether X X must answer questions that are addressed to X . The object of the machine is to try to cause the interrogator to mistakenly conclude that the machine is the other person; the object of the other person is to try to help the interrogator to correctly identify the machine. About this game, Turing (1950) says:

Philosophers have traditionally addressed such questions as: whether time is an independent feature of reality or merely an aspect of our experience; whether or not it makes sense to think of time as having had a beginning; why time is directional and the past and future are asymmetrical; whether time flows continuously or is composed of discrete moments; whether there is absolute time in addition to relations of temporal succession; and whether it is possible to travel through time The Eleatics developed general arguments to show that time and motion are impossible , and Augustine employed the analysis of time to explain human freedom in the face of divine power.

Né le 23 juin à Paddington (Londres), Alan est le fils de Julius Mathison, officier de l'armée des Indes et d'Ethel Sarah Turing, fille d'un ingénieur des chemins de fer à Madras. A l'âge d'un an, il est confié par sa mère, qui rejoint alors son mari aux Indes, à la garde d'amis. Le couple ne reviendra en Angleterre qu'en 1926, à la retraite de Julius. Benjamin de la famille, Alan connaît une scolarité sans éclat malgré un esprit brillant et de nettes dispositions pour les sciences. En 1928, à Sherborne School où il est entré deux ans plus tôt, il fait la connaissance de Christopher Marcom. Cette rencontre provoque en lui un déclic et l'amène à s'intéresser réellement à la science et plus exactement aux mathématiques. La relation des deux adolescents s'achève tragiquement en février 1930 avec la mort de Christopher.
