Alan Turing: Father Of Computer Science

ALAN TURING

Alan Turing was regarded as the father of modern computer science. His entire working effort towards the computer science changed the modern computer science field in to an amazing network of computer science. Alan Turing full name is Alan Mathison Turing. He was born on 23 June 1912. He was child born to Julius Mathison and Sara Turing. He was born to upper middle class family. His father Julius had entered the Indian Civil Service serving in the Madras Presidency and Alan Turing’s mother Ethel Sara Stoney was the daughter of the chief engineer of the Madras railways who came from an Anglo-Irish family of somewhat similar social status. Alan Turing was born in Paddington, London.

In 1926, at the age of 13, he shifted on to Sherburne School. Turing's natural intelligence towards mathematics and science did not earn him respect from some of the teachers at Sherburne. His headmaster wrote to his parents that the head master hopes that Turing will not fall between two stools. If he is to stay at public school he must aim at becoming educated. Turing continued to show remarkable abilities of him in the studies he loved the most solving advanced problems in 1927 without having studied even elementary calculus. In 1928 at the age of 16 Turing encountered Albert Einstein's work not only did he grasp it but he might even have deduce Einstein's questioning of Newton's laws of motion from a text in which this was never made explicit. At Sherburne Turing formed an important friendship with fellow pupil Christopher Morcom, He was described as Turing's "first love". Their relationship provided inspiration in Turing's future endeavours, but it was cut short by Morcom's death, in February 1930, from complications of bovine tuberculosis, contracted after drinking infected cow's milk some years previously. The event caused Turing great sorrow. He coped with his grief by working that much harder on the topics of science and maths that he had shared with Morcom. In a letter to Morcom's mother Turing said that he is sure he could not have found anywhere another companion so brilliant and yet so charming and unconcealed and he regarded his interest in his work and in such things as to which he introduced Turing as something to be shared with him and he think he felt a little the same about him. he know he must put as much energy if not as much interest into his work as if he were alive because that is what he would like him to do. Some have speculated that Morcom's death was the cause of Turing's atheism and
