Social Sciences Lecture Theatre 200
Social Sciences Building (A02), University of Sydney NSW 2006, NSW 2006, Australia
Alan Turing was a mathematician who left a remarkable legacy which continues to influence research in computing, codebreaking, artificial intelligence and mathematical logic. Notably, much of Turing’s work was completed before the first programmable computer was released.
Our guest speaker, Professor Benjamin Burton will explore Turing’s life, some of his most important and surprising results, and discuss how they continue to influence mathematics and computing today. The lecture is suited to a mathematically-curious audience and there is no need for any specialist knowledge or background.
Free but registrations are required.
