The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour Through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine Tapa blanda - 2008 - 1st Edición
de Charles Petzold
Petzold elaborates on Alan Turing's historic paper on computability and the Turing Machine. Interwoven into the narrative are the highlights of Turing's secret work in cryptanalysis during World War II, his involvement in seminal computer projects, and his speculations about artificial intelligence.
Descripción de contraportada
Before digital computers ever existed, Alan Turing envisioned their power and versatility...but also proved what computers could never do.
In an extraordinary and ultimately tragic life that unfolded like a novel, Turing helped break the German Enigma code to turn the tide of World War II, later speculated on artificial intelligence, fell victim to the homophobic witchhunts of the early 1950s, and committed suicide at the age of 41. Yet Turing is most famous for an eerily prescient 1936 paper in which he invented an imaginary computing machine, explored its capabilities and intrinsic limitations, and established the foundations of modern-day programming and computability.
This absorbing book expands Turing's now legendary 36-page paper with extensive annotations, fascinating historical context, and page-turning glimpses into his private life. From his use of binary numbers to his exploration of concepts that today's programmers will recognize as RISC processing, subroutines, algorithms, and others, Turing foresaw the future and helped to mold it. In our post-Turing world, everything is a Turing Machine -- from the most sophisticated computers we can build, to the hardly algorithmic processes of the human mind, to the information-laden universe in which we live.
