Programming Legend Charles Petzold unlocks the secrets of the extraordinary and prescient 1936 paper by Alan M. Turing Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer known as the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored the concept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field of computability theory in the process, a foundation of present-day computer programming. The book expands Turing's original 36-page paper with additional background chapters and extensive annotations; the author elaborates on and clarifies many of Turing's statements, making the original difficult-to-read document accessible to present day programmers, computer science majors, math geeks, ...

About Charles Petzold
English mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) is the author of the 1936 paper On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem that introduced the imaginary computer called the Turing Machine for understanding the nature and limitations of computing. His famous 1950 article Computing Machinery and Intelligence introduced the Turing Test for gauging artificial intelligence. ... Read more
