WHO IS ALAN TURING?

THIS is Alan Turing!

• An English mathematician and a computer scientist.

• Studies at University of Cambridge in 1931 and after he had graduated, he went to University of Manchester.

• During the Second World War, he was the head of Hut 8, which they solves the Germany code messages. 1

• He studies all sorts of mathematics and computer science.

• He was well known for creating the first Turing machine – calculator and leading the Hut 8 in the Second World War. 2

WHO IS JOHANN BERNOULLI?• A Swiss mathematician and is well known by his discovering of

infinitesimal calculus with his brother Jacob.

• Studies medicine first and then mathematics at Basel University.

• His brother Jacob and he is one of the first mathematicians that use calculus to solve math equations.

• He was well known as discovering the infinitesimal calculus with his brother. 3

CONCLUSION• Alan Turing created a Turing machine – Calculator and

played an important role to the invention of modern computer.

• Johann discovered infinitesimal calculus and applied to various problems.

• Both had influence to the modern technology and inspired a lot of scientists and mathematicians after them. They both set the footstone for development of modern science.
