Saturday 23 June 2012 marks the centenary of the birth of ALAN TURING - mathematical genius, hero of the WWII code breakers of Bletchley Park, and father of modern computing.

 

Alan Turing was a mathematician, cryptographer and pioneer of computer science who possessed one of the greatest brains of the 20th century. His life was one of secret triumphs shadowed by public tragedy.
