Alan Turing “Sometimes it's the very people who no one imagines anything of who do the things no one can imagine.”(Imitation game, Morten Tyldum, 2014.). Said by a man of true intelligence, but, was never recognized for it. Yet no one knows about the man who dramatically helped end world war 2. This man's name is Alan Turing, a name that should be remembered for many years. Why? One reason is he is one of the world's greatest computer scientist and mathematician. Another reason is Turing decoded one of the hardest coding machines known to history. Not only that, but he was the man to implant the idea of the now modern computer into the world.
Throughout Turing's life he had enjoyed math and later computer science. Turing finished the

Turing finished the Entscheidungsproblem or, english decision problem which is. whether or not something that is not human can calculate and think. This has been already up in the air since 1928, Many people went through it but did not finish. Out of Turing's book he wrote “The "computable" numbers may be described briefly as the real numbers whose expressions as a decimal are calculable by finite means..”(http://www.turing.org.uk) Which is really him solving through the problem. He solved it by making a software for the his Turing machine. The software was like what we know now a machine that can think and solve problems itself. He did this by inputting simple words and equations into the machine. Which then would have the knowledge to from equations and calculate what was needed. To Truing it was a hard process, but he did it.
So in conclusion Turing was a man to remember and a life without him would have gone a whole different turn than it did. He was one of the by far most intelligent man around. He ended the world war faster by breaking the enigma, and he also developed the modern computer. So Alan Turing is worth remembering. Though a great man Alan Turing died on June 7, 1954 Turing took his life.
