Allen Ma Xisen Turing (1965438+June 23, 2002-1June 7, 954) was born in London, England, and graduated from Princeton University. He is called "the father of computer science and artificial intelligence". The Turing Prize named after him is known as the "Nobel Prize in Computer Science".

The Turing machine model he proposed laid the foundation of modern computer logic working mode. In World War II, he helped the military to crack the German cryptographic system Enigma and helped the Allies win.

At the end of 1927, Turing, who was only 15 years old, wrote an executive summary of one of Einstein's works to help his mother understand Einstein's theory of relativity, which showed that he had extraordinary mathematical level and scientific understanding.

Personality assessment

Great scientist: Turing has made outstanding contributions in the fields of mathematics, logic and computer science. The Turing machine model he proposed laid the foundation of modern computer. In his work, he explored the possibility of artificial intelligence.

Heroes of World War II: During World War II, Turing, as an expert in code deciphering of the British government, successfully cracked the German Enigma code, which played a key role in the victory of the Allied forces.

Pusher of social progress: Turing's contribution lies not only in the scientific and military fields, but also in promoting social progress. He is a gay rights activist. Although he was convicted of homosexual acts and underwent chemical castration, he always adhered to his beliefs and opinions.
