Frioni - Alan Turing **
The father of modern computer scienze
his inventions
Colossus
is an electronic digital computer, able to crack Enigma's code
Enigma is the German computer, invented by the German engineer Schrebius
Turing Test
a standard measure of artficial intelligence
The test consisted of an interrogator a person and an intelligent machine. If the computer's answers couldn't be distinguished from the person's answers, the machine could be described as thinking
The Turing Machine
read a series of 1s and 0s and described the steps needed to solve a problem or a task
was born in London in 1912
He studied Maths at Cambridge in the 1930s
He believed an intelligent machine could be created by following the model of the human brain
committed suicide in June 1954
John Napier
married Elizabeth Stirling in 1571
was born in Edinburgh in 1550
was admitted to the University of St. Andrews at 13 years old
died in 1617
very famous mathematician
invention
Napier's rods or bones
show his creativeness in the field of Mathematics: multiplication, division and other mathematical functions could be solved mechanically
this device helped in analogue computers
although he never invented the natural logarithm funcion it is sometimes known as the Napierian Logarithm
Charles Babbage
the father of computing
discoveries
Vigenère cipher
in 1854 he published the solution of a Vigenère cipher
in 1855 he published a short letter 'Cypher Writing'
was born in London in 1912
He studied Maths at Cambridge
died in 1871
joined the Analytical Society
a group of like-minded students interested in exploring
Maths issues
He directed the building of some steam-powered machines
the basic architecture of this machines was similar to a modern computer
