That’s why the machines were central to Turing’s paper. To show there were algorithms that Turing machines would run indefinitely and inconclusively was a way of showing Hilbert was mistaken.

Turing’s great insight was to provide a concrete answer to the computation question in the form of an abstract machine, later named the Turing machine by his doctoral adviser, Alonzo Church. It’s ...

This paper considers the problem of scheduling n jobs, each having a processing time, a due date and a weight, on a single machine to minimize the weighted number of late jobs. An O (n log n) ...

Alan Turing Birth Anniversary: Father of modern computing who cracked the Nazi code and developed the ultimate humans vs. machine test ...

Alan Turing, the 'Father of modern computing,' born on June 23, 1912, revolutionized technology with his Turing machine concept. His codebreaking during World War II significantly shortened the ...
