DESCRIPTION:Alan Turing was one of our great 20th century mathematicians\,
  and a pioneer of computer science. However\, he may best be remembered as
  one of the leading code breakers of Bletchley Park during World War II. I
 t was Turing's brilliant insights and mathematical mind that helped to bre
 ak Enigma\, the apparently unbreakable code used by the German military. W
 e present a history of both Alan Turing and the Enigma\, leading up to thi
 s fascinating battle of man against machine - including a full demonstrati
 on of an original WWII Enigma Machine!\nThis talk forms part of our ongoin
 g celebrations of the centenary of Alan Turing's birth. We've also produce
 d mathematical activities on codes and ciphers for all ages on our NRICH w
 ebsite\, and you can read more about Turing's work on Plus.
