What Do You Know About The Writer Of The Paper ‘on Computable Numbers’ Which Was Written In 1936?

Alan M. Turing was an English mathematician and logician born on 23rd June of 1912 in London. In the time when he was studying at the University of Cambridge and the Princeton's Institute of Advanced Study, he wrote the paper named "On Computable Numbers". He wrote it in the year of 1936. With the help of the paper, he determined that no universal algorithmic method of seminal truth in mathematics could exist and that mathematics would always contain un-decidable proportions as opposed to merely unknown ones.

In that paper Alan M. Turing also introduced the concept of the Turing Machine. It was basically a hypothetical computing device. Turing's papers on the subject were broadly accredited as the foundation for research into Artificial Intelligence. His valuable works in Cryptography were accepted widely during the Second World War. He was also a teacher at the University of Manchester after the war ended.

After several suicide attempts, Turing was arrested for homosexual acts and subjected to extreme medical treatments aimed at charging his sexual orientation. Alan M. Turing died on 7th June of 1954 in Cheshire.
