Computers would probably have been non-existent if it wasn't for the famous British mathematician, Alan Turing. Having been a child prodigy, he went on to pursue his Ph.D. from Princeton University.' Soon, he became an important member of a group of code-breakers in the 'Government Code and Cypher School' (GC&CS) in Bletchley Park. He was given the daunting task of deciphering the ever-changing German codes sent through the ingenious machine, 'Enigma.' Alan made the almost impossible task possible with his 'bombe' device, which used a technique called 'Banburismus.' Eventually, this mathematician and his team of code-breakers were successful in defeating the 'Enigma.' However, two code-breakers from his team were found to be Soviet spies, and thus the work was declared highly confidential. For a long time, no records of Turing's work were available, and the 'Official Secrets Act' prohibited him from talking about his work to anyone. His homosexuality caused him to be convicted, though the British government apologized posthumously for convicting him. His works and life were popularized by the ‘Academy Award’ winning movie, ‘The Imitation Game,’ released in 2014.
