安德鲁·霍奇斯,1949年出生于伦敦城郊,1972年开始研究扭量理论,这是数学家罗杰·彭罗斯开创的、解决物理学根本问题的新方法。霍奇斯对艾伦·图灵如谜的人生深感兴趣,这一半是因为他们都是数学家,另一半是因为他们都是同性恋。70年代,霍奇斯积极投身于同性恋解放运动。1977年,他决心著写一本最详尽的图灵传记,他认为只有这样,才能公正地刻画这位天才的一生。经过多年调查与写作,本书初版于1983年问世。霍奇斯如今已重返本职,在牛津大学瓦德汉学院研究数学。
It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades--all before his suicide at age forty-one. This New York Times-bestselling biography of the founder of computer science, with a new preface by the author that addresses Turing's royal pardon in 2013, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life.
Capturing both the inner and outer drama of Turing's life, Andrew Hodges tells how Turing's revolutionary idea of 1936--the concept of a universal machine--laid the foundation for the modern computer and how Turing brought the idea to practical realization in 1945 with his electronic design. The book also tells how this work was directly related to Turing's leading role in breaking the German Enigma ciphers during World War II, a scientific triumph that was critical to Allied victory in the Atlantic. At the same time, this is the tragic account of a man who, despite his wartime service, was eventually arrested, stripped of his security clearance, and forced to undergo a humiliating treatment program--all for trying to live honestly in a society that defined homosexuality as a crime.
The inspiration for a major motion picture starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, Alan Turing: The Enigma is a gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution.
书的封面很有意思,只对图灵的脸蛋寥寥数笔的勾勒,十分符合图灵超强的逻辑抽象能力。阅读图灵ACE项目计划的设计部分,感叹很多现在广泛使用的计算机原理都已在图灵的手中有了理论的模型。对于这样一个朴质坦诚,执着的偏执狂让他对性异的取向遮掩确实是一种折磨。 勇者挥...

评分 评分 评分我是刚刚出道一年的程序员,看到罗胖推荐的祖师爷后,出于好奇买了看看。读的比较慢,刚到第三章。对其从少年到青年的成长历程有了大致了解,读到图灵迸发“图灵机和对思维抽象”思想的那一部分,也觉得是热血沸腾。不过里面的数理论证过程和第一章中的物理化学实验过程,看着...
正没纸质书读,小朋友的老师借给他读的书,我想读一下。读了序言,很有兴趣继续。字太小,希望眼力可以。或许数学才是透过现象看本质的根本。/天渐渐暖了,视力好很多,每天清晨读几页,尽然也读完了。Great mind!改变世界的伟大。在历史背景中,在同性恋的身份下,他的天才可以发挥到这个境界或许已经是万幸了。
评分花了近1个月终于看完了/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
评分Beyond my knowledge.
评分包含了那个时代颠覆性的数学和量子物理发展,不单单是人物传记了
评分印象不深
