TURING, ALAN; ET AL — Solvable and Unsolvable Problems, in Science News 31

London: Penguin Books, 1954. First Edition. Paperback. Contains the first appearance of Alan Turing's "Solvable and Unsolvable Problems" on pages [7]-23. "This popular science article, appearing in the final year of Turing's life, discusses foundational mathematical ideas that led to computer science, particularly regarding computability. It is considered a good, popular-level explanation of some of Turing's key mathematical ideas related to computability and the limits of computation, a field that became a cornerstone of computer science and artificial intelligence." - Google AI. "Alan Turing (1912-1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist. He was highly influential in the development of theoretical 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. He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science." - Wikipedia. [7]-64, [16 black and white photo photographic plates], 65-137, [2]. Index. Index of authors.
