< User:Lesser Cartographies | sandbox

The bibliography of Alan Turing lists the scientific work authored in whole or in part by computer scientist Alan Turing. The selection of material is not necessarily obvious, as Turing's work ranges from material published in scholarly journals to, in the words of Turing biographer Andrew Hodges, "internal reports, unfinished work completed by others, typescripts of talks, and papers which were never intended for publication" due to their classified nature.[1] The earliest bibliography appears no later than 1955 in Max Newman's biographical notice[2] for the Royal Society following Turing's death the previous year. The four-volume Collected Works of A. M. Turing divides Turing's output into "Mechanical Intelligence,"[3] "Morphogenesis,"[4] "Pure Mathematics,"[5] and "Mathematical Logic."[6] The more recent Alan Turing: His Work and Impact[7] did not include a bibliography, referring readers instead to the online bibliography maintained by Nelson Beebe.[8] Turing's papers are housed at King's College, Cambridge and made available online via the Turing Digital Archive.[9] Published bibliographies have tended to go out of date quickly as more of Turing's classified work is released.

Bibliography

edit

Following the convention used in the Collected Works and the online bibliography of Andrew Hodges, the material is divided into Mechanical Intelligence, Pure Mathematics, Morphogenesis and Mathematical Logic. Unless otherwise noted, all material is reproduced in the Collected Works.
