The Turing Alphabet

Introducing the Turing Alphabet: demonstrating the breadth of the Institute.

Introduction

Alan Turing was born on 23 June 1912 in London’s Maida Vale. He went on to spectacular achievements in his lifetime and beyond and, to celebrate the birthday of this incredible person, the Turing presents just some of the ways in which we continue and expand on Alan Turing’s work.
