'Alan Turing' the founder of Artificial Intelligence:
Alan Turing (1912-1954) is a British mathematician, pioneer in computing and considered as the founder of artificial intelligence.
With the development of computer technology, interest in Alan Turing's personality has increased. Who was this man? Which left a mark on the history of computer science and mathematics? Why was this name long in oblivion?
Who is Alan Turing, what are his services to science? Today there are many people who could confidently answer this question. And even more so in narrow professional circles - not a single modern textbook of mathematical logic is complete without a Turing machine. The scientist and specialists in the field of computer science are well aware. True, some have this knowledge a little one-sided. “Turing is the first hacker” - all they know about this ingenious man.
Despite the fact that alan Turing can be put on a par with the famous mathematicians for example Descartes or Leibiniz,recognition came to him many years after his death.
Alan Turing's personality is very controversial.Yes,and his life path can not be called smooth.To understand this person,one must turn to the impartial facts of his biography.
After the war, Turing was engaged in various activities, including cryptology. He also did not give up his hobby for sports: chess and running. Many do not know that in the cross, Turing had world results. In one of the competitions, he showed time better than the silver medalist of the 1948 Olympics. By the way, Turing also developed the first computer program for chess. No wonder they say that a talented person is talented in everything.
Despite the successes in scientific actrivity,a series of failures began in Turing's personal life.A trip to Greece and foriegn contacts created a problem with the security service, A black streak began in Turing's life which cause severe depression.On june 8, 1954,the greatest genius of his time,Alan Matheson Turing was founded dead in his own house.He was poisoned with potassium cyanide.His youthful interest in chemistry played a fatal role.Turing himself recieved the poisonous substance and injected it into an apple.After many years,the apple become a symbol of the famous computer corporation "Apple".The ingenious scientist lived only 41 years and died in 1954.
