Alan Turing was an early pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence. He worked as a code breaker during WWII. Though he achieved much, the bulk of his work was hidden as it was considered "classified." Later, his life was enmeshed in scandal and in the end he took his own life. Recently, the United Kingdom, his home land, has recognized his achievements and contribution to the country by placing his likeness on the 50-pound currency note. We owe much to his work with the technology we use in our lives every day. In this class, we'll look at his work and contribution to the modern society.
