  What is the cleverest machine in history? If you're anything like nine out of ten people in the world, you'll say it's a computer, a machine with mathematical logic(數(shù)學(xué)邏輯)that can reason(推理)in the same way as humans.

  Alan Mathison Turing never expected to be the father of a machine with such a title.

  He was born in London in 1912, the second of his parents' two sons.His parents worked in India while Turing and his brother spent their childhoods in Britain.

  Turing's loneliness during this time may have led to his lifelong interest in how the human mind works.He believed that the mind creates its own world when the real world is not acceptable to it.At 13, he already showed a talent for mathematics.He wasn't perfect though.His teachers said his work was hard to read.

  After graduating from Cambridge University, he remained there as a teacher.At that time, his interest in the human mind led him to draw a machine.

  In 1937, Turing wrote a report about his machine.However, few people understand what he was talking about.But the report changed Turing's whole life.After the start of World War Ⅱ, the British Government ordered him to serve in a special department.The task was to break codes used by the Nazis(納粹).

  Turing's talent shone in this top-secret work.He played a major role in designing an early computer like machines that could decipher(破譯)Nazi codes at high speed.After the war, he returned to Cambridge, and built a machine based on his ideas from 1937.
