Alan Turing - Giants of Computer Science

An exploration of the life, mathematical contributions, and computing legacy of Alan Turing.

"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton So much of modern life stands on the shoulders of Alan Turing, whether it’s his contributions in math, early computing, or the war effort by cracking top secret Nazi codes. In this video, we take a glimpse into the life and accomplishments of Alan Turing.
