Turing's famous 1936 paper introduced a formal definition of a computing machine a Turing machine This model led to both the development of actual computers & to computability theory the study of what machines can & cannot compute This book presents classical computability theory from Turing & Post to current results & methods & their use in studying the information content of algebraic structures models & their relation to Peano arithmetic The author presents the subject as an art to be practiced & an art in the aesthetic sense of inherent beauty which all mathematicians recognize in their subject Part I gives a thorough development of the foundations of computability from the definition of Turing machines up to finite injury priority arguments Key topics include relative computability & computably enumerable sets those which can be effectively listed but not necessarily effectively decided such as the theorems of Peano arithmetic Part II

Includes::
the study of computably open & closed sets of reals & basis & nonbasis theorems for effectively closed sets Part III covers minimal Turing degrees Part IV is an introduction to games & their use in proving theorems Finally Part V offers a short history of computability theory The author has honed the content over decades according to feedback from students lecturers & researchers around the world Most chapters include exercises & the material is carefully structured according to importance & difficulty The book is suitable for advanced undergraduate & graduate students in computer science & mathematics & researchers engaged with computability & mathematical logic

Can you tell the difference between talking to a human & talking to a machine? Or is it possible to create a machine which is able to converse like a human? In fact what is it that even makes us human? Turing's Imitation Game commonly known as the Turing Test is fundamental to the science of artificial intelligence Involving an interrogator conversing with hidden identities both human & machine the test strikes at the heart of any questions about the capacity of machines to behave as humans While this subject area has shifted dramatically in the last few years this book offers an up-to-date assessment of Turing's Imitation Game its history context & implications all illustrated with practical Turing tests The contemporary relevance of this topic & the strong emphasis on example transcripts makes this book an ideal companion for undergraduate courses in artificial intelligence engineering or computer science ...

This revised edition builds upon & updates its twin themes of Turkey's continuing incorporation into the capitalist world & the modernization of state & society It begins with the forging of closer links with Europe after the French Revolution & the changing face of the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century Zurcher argues that Turkey's history between 1908 & 1950 should be seen as a unity & offers a strongly revisionist interpretation of Turkey's founding father Kemal Ataturk In his account of the period since 1950 Zurcher focuses on the growth of mass politics; the three military coups; the thorny issue of Turkey's human right's record; the alliance with the West & relations with the European Community; Turkey's ambivalent relations with the Middle East; the increasingly explosive Kurdish question; & the continuing political instability & growth of Islam ...

Turing: Pioneer Of The Information Age

Alan Turing is regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century But who was Turing and what did he achieve during his tragically short life of 41 years? Best known as the genius who broke Germany's most secret codes during the war of 1939-45 Turing was also the father of the modern computer Today all who 'click-to-open' are familiar with the impact of Turing's ideas Here B Jack Copeland provides an account of Turing's life and work exploring the key elements of his life-story in tandem with his leading ideas and contributions The book highlights Turing's contributions to computing and to computer science including Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life and the emphasis throughout is on the relevance of his work to modern developments The story of his contributions to
codebreaking during the Second World War is set in the context of his thinking about machines as is the account of his work in the foundations of mathematics
