Summary

Mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist, philosopher, and bilogist--Alan Turning was all of these. Yet the extraordinary feats stand in sharp contrast to the shy, hesitant person who accomplished them. His untimely death in 1954 went largely unnoticed around the world. Only later would Alan Turning's groundbreaking contributions to math and science be fully appreciated
