商品描述
'In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his particular studies added his own.' So is described one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century, yet Alan Turing's name was not widely recognised until his contribution to the breaking of the German Enigma code became public in the 1970s. The story of Turing's life fascinates and in the years since his suicide, Turing's reputation has only grown, as his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology have become better appreciated. To commemorate the centenary of Turing's birth, this republication of his mother's biography is enriched by a new foreword by Martin Davis and a never-before-published memoir by Alan's older brother. The contrast between this memoir and the original biography reveals tensions and sheds new light on Turing's relationship with his family, and on the man himself.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
「在短暫的一生中,他成就斐然,並將自己的名字加入了他所研究領域的偉大人物名單中。」這是對二十世紀最偉大人物之一的描述,然而,直到1970年代他對破解德國恩尼格碼(Enigma)密碼的貢獻公開後,艾倫·圖靈(Alan Turing)的名字才開始被廣泛認識。圖靈的生平故事引人入勝,自他自殺以來,圖靈的聲譽不斷提升,因為他在邏輯、數學、計算機、人工智慧和計算生物學等領域的貢獻逐漸受到重視。為了紀念圖靈誕辰百年,這本他母親的傳記重新出版,並由馬丁·戴維斯(Martin Davis)撰寫了新的前言,還附上了艾倫的哥哥從未發表過的回憶錄。這本回憶錄與原傳記之間的對比揭示了緊張關係,並為圖靈與家人的關係以及他本人提供了新的視角。
