Alan Turing: Crash Course Computer Science #15

Today we’re going to take a step back from programming and discuss the person who formulated many of the theoretical concepts that underlie modern computation - the father of computer science himself: Alan Turing. Normally, we try to avoid “Great Man" history in Crash Course because, truthfully, all milestones in humanity are much more complex than an individual or single lens.
