Alan Turing Alan Mathison Turing, OBE, FRS (/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/ TEWR-ing; 23 June 1912 – 7 June 1954) was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, pioneering computer scientist, mathematical biologist, and marathon and ultra distance runner. He was highly influential in the development of computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of "algorithm" and "computation" with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general purpose computer.[2][3][4] Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.[5] During World War II, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) at Bletchley Park, Britain's codebreaking centre. For a time he led Hut 8, the section responsible for German naval cryptanalysis. After the war, he worked at the National Physical Laboratory, where he designed the ACE, among the first designs for a stored-program computer. Early life and career[edit] Cryptanalysis[edit]

Tracy Hall Howard Tracy Hall (October 20, 1919 – July 25, 2008) was an American physical chemist, and the first person who grew a synthetic diamond according to a reproducible, verifiable and witnessed process, using a press of his own design. Early life[edit] Tracy Hall was born in Ogden, Utah in 1919. His full name was Howard Tracy Hall, but he often used the name H. The invention[edit] As with many important inventions, the circumstances surrounding Hall's synthesis is the object of some controversy. The composition of the starting material in the sample chamber, catalyst for the reaction, and the required temperature and pressure were little more than guesses. GE went on to make a fortune with Hall's invention. Later years[edit] Hall left GE in 1955 and became a full professor of chemistry and Director of Research at Brigham Young University. On Sunday, July 4, 1976, he became a bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served five years. Recognition[edit] Patents[edit] U.S.
