Who was Alan Turing?
Who was Alan Turing?
Alan Turing (1912-1954) was a brilliant mathematician and pioneer of computer science. During the Second World War, he was part of a top secret group of codebreakers who helped to break the German Enigma machine. This codebreaking work significantly helped the Allies to win the war – especially the naval war in the Atlantic. Due to the top-secret nature of his work, Turing gained little outer recognition for his work, (though he did get an OBE in 1948). In 1952, he was arrested for gross indecency and a year later died from cyanide poisoning. Posthumously Turing was granted an official public apology in 2009 and a posthumous pardon in 2013.
