Now we come to the masterstroke of Turing machine theory – the Universal Turing machine. Suppose you have a Turing machine that computes something. It consists of a finite state machine, an initial ...
Though as with so many independent inventors the origins of computing can be said to have been arrived at through the work of many people, Alan Turing is certainly one of the foundational figures in ...
On Saturday, British mathematician Alan Turing would have turned 100 years old. It is barely fathomable to think that none of the computing power surrounding us today was around when he was born. But ...

What can't be computed? How Turing drew the line between the solvable and the impossible
Alan Turing didn't just define what machines could do — he set out to find where computation itself breaks down. This is the story of how a simple machine with a tape and a scanner became the boundary ...
With regard to my previous blog on a One-bit processor and a mega-cool Turing machine, I’ve been bouncing around the Internet discovering all sorts of cool things… But before we hurl ourselves ...
According to mathematicians Eva Miranda of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Spain and Isaac Ramos of ETH Zürich in ...
Now we come to the masterstroke of Turing machine theory – the Universal Turing machine. Suppose you have a Turing machine that computes something. It consists of a finite state machine, an initial ...
A mathematical model of computation. Named after English scientist Alan Turing, a Turing machine is a finite state machine that reads a tape divided into cells. The Turing machine examines the symbol ...
