Alan Turing was the father of computer science and his Turing machine laid the groundwork for the modern computer. Born in London on June 23, 1912, the mathematician and scientist took an interest in ...

If Turing invented computer science, which is itself something of an oversimplification, then surely he must have invented the computer.

Alan Turing's bridging of logic and machines laid the foundation for digital computers, says George Dyson.

Finding small universal Turing machines is not a major problem in modern computer science or mathematics.
