What can't be computed? How Turing drew the line between the solvable and the impossible
Alan Turing didn't just define what machines could do — he set out to find where computation itself breaks down. This is the ...
The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...
And then came Turing’s work on finite-state automata. I n 1936, Turing published a paper in the Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society which proposed a theoretical “machine” (mathematical ...
