  1. Church-Turing thesis

    Church-Turing thesis In computability theory, the Church-Turing thesis (also known as computability thesis, [ 1] the Turing-Church thesis, [ 2] the Church-Turing conjecture, Church's thesis, Church's conjecture, and Turing's thesis) is a thesis about the nature of computable functions. It states that a function on the natural numbers can be calculated by an effective method if and only ...

  4. The Church-Turing Thesis

    The Church-Turing thesis (or Turing-Church thesis) is a fundamental claim in the theory of computability. It was advanced independently by Church and Turing in the mid 1930s. There are various equivalent formulations of the thesis. A common one is that every effective computation can be carried out by a Turing machine (i.e., by Turing's abstract computing machine, which in its universal form ...

  5. The Church-Turing Thesis > The Rise and Fall of the

    In the long aftermath of the Church-Turing result, as those rough pioneering days gave way to modern computer science, Turing's opinion became the mainstream view: Today, computer science makes use of a multiplicity of algorithms for deciding different parts of the functional calculus and other mathematical systems.

    Alan Turing. First published Mon Jun 3, 2002; substantive revision Mon Sep 30, 2013. Alan Turing (1912-1954) never described himself as a philosopher, but his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" is one of the most frequently cited in modern philosophical literature. It gave a fresh approach to the traditional mind-body ...

  8. Alan Turing

    Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS ( / ˈtjʊərɪŋ /; 23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist. [ 5] He was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered ...

  9. Turing: The Papers of Alan Mathison Turing

    Alan Mathison Turing was born on 23 June 1912, the son of Julius Mathison Turing, a civil servant in India, and (Ethel) Sara Turing, the daughter of Edward Waller Stoney, chief engineer of the Madras and Southern Mahratta Railway. Alan's early life was spent with his brother John, living with the Ward family at St Leonards-on-Sea (near ...

  11. The Church-Turing Thesis

    The formal concept proposed by Turing is that of computability by Turing machine. He argued for the claim (Turing's thesis) that whenever there is an effective method for obtaining the values of a mathematical function, the function can be computed by a Turing machine. The converse claim is easily established, for a Turing machine program is ...

  12. Alan Turing's Systems of Logic

    A work of philosophy as well as mathematics, Turing's thesis envisions a practical goal—a logical system to formalize mathematical proofs so they can be checked mechanically. If every step of a theorem could be verified mechanically, the burden on intuition would be limited to the axioms. Turing's point, as Appel writes, is that ...

    Church Turing Thesis : Turing machine is defined as an abstract representation of a computing device such as hardware in computers. Alan Turing proposed Logical Computing Machines (LCMs), i.e. Turing's expressions for Turing Machines. This was done to define algorithms properly.

    Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals was the PhD dissertation of the mathematician Alan Turing.
