Alan Turing
Alan Turing was born in London on June 7, 1954. He grew up being schooled by the British Imperial System. Even when young, he was good at finding relationships between unrelated things. He also had a special skill for mathematical knowledge which he took to his advantage, and in 1935, he was elected as a Fellow at Kings College, Cambridge University. In 1936, he wrote a paper called 'On Computable Numbers...' where he explained the meaning to mathematical calculations and what it could lead to, which was the establishment of modern computer science. A couple years later, he ended up going to Princeton to dive deeper into his interest in mathematics. He added physical and engineering branches to math. Later, Turing got interested in computation and the human brain which led to his paper 'Computing Machinery and Intelligence' which he wrote in 1950. This paper led to the basis of Artificial Intelligence. It got so famous that The Royal Society decided to elect him as a Fellow in 1951. During the second World War, Turing found interest in a German enciphering machine called Enigma and managed to decode it. In the 20th century, Turing founded the dominant technology and made the Turing Machine. This machine was the first to be able to alter, print, and read long tapes. This helped evolve computer science as we could now see what could and could not be solved by an algorithm. Sadly, Alan Turing died of cyanide poisoning on June 7, 1954.
