A Turing Tale.

The author discusses aspects of mathematician Alan Turing's computer program language. He mentions the introduction of his automatic machines without finite output and input as well as his desire in making them calculate and print real numbers. He notes his comparison of arguments from scholars, Jac...

      ab: The author discusses aspects of mathematician Alan Turing's computer program language. He mentions the introduction of his automatic machines without finite output and input as well as his desire in making them calculate and print real numbers. He notes his comparison of arguments from scholars, Jack Copeland, Andrew Hodges and Martin Davis on the difference between his device and a stored program computer. He also points out his capability in merging practical and theoretical conceptions.
