Hardcover. Turing's Revolution Editor(s): Sommaruga, Giovanni; Strahm, Thomas. Num Pages: 353 pages, 17 black & white illustrations, 1 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBCD; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 21. Weight in Grams: 695.
This book provides an overview of the confluence of ideas in Turing’s era and work and examines the impact of his work on mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. It combines contributions by well-known scientists on the history and philosophy of computability theory as well as on generalised Turing computability. By looking at the roots and at the philosophical and technical influence of Turing’s work, it is possible to gather new perspectives and new research topics which might be considered as a continuation of Turing’s working ideas well into the 21st century.
