Art du spectacle

I )           Alan Mathison Turing was born in London , the 23 June 1912.

In 1918 , Alan joins St Michael’s day school in Hastings, after that , he becomes a pupil at Sherborne school at the age of where he really wants to spend his time doing Science and Mathematics. besides,  Alan became particulary interested in the work of Albert Einstein, in fact , he is able to develop work done by Einstein based on a questionning of Newton’s Laws of Motion.

After Sherborne, Turing enrolled at King’s College in Cambridge , studiying there from 1931 to 1934.He became an undergraduate at this university to study Mathematics. He really enjoys university and is highly successful, and he spent a lot of time studiying.

Moreover , in 1936 , Turing delivered a paper , « On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem », in wish he presented the notion of a universal machine ( later called « Universal Turing Machine », and then « Turing Machine ») capable of computing anything that is computable : The central concept of the modern computer was based on Turing’s paper.

Over the next two years , Turing studied mathematics and cryptology at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey . After receiving his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1938, he returned to Cambridge , and the took a part-time position with the Government Code and Cypher Chool, a British code-breaking organization.

        At the outbreak of World War Two , Turing joined the Government Codes and Cypher School at Bletchey Park.

        Alan worked on breaking the code for the German Enigma machine, this machine was used for sending coded messages to units of the German forces. He developed a machine  ( named « the Bombe » ) , which tried to break the code. Alan Turing also tried to break the Naval Enigma , an even more complicated machine. What he had done at Betchley Park was so secret that very few people were aware of the importance of he’s action. And his services helped to win the war.

A hero is the one who saves lives at the cost of his own or by defeating the enemy. Alan Turing had a big hand in saving the lives of millions of people by breaking of enigma and intercepting various german messages. He made a foolproof data analysis of various German ships and its intercepts. On that basis , Germans were defeated severely.
