    Alan Turing was born at Paddington, London. His father, Julius
    Mathison Turing, was a British member of the Indian Civil Service and
    he was often abroad. Alan's mother, Ethel Sara Stoney, was the
    daughter of the chief engineer of the Madras railways and Alan's
    parents had met and married in India. When Alan was about one
    CHILDHOOD year old his mother rejoined her husband in India, leaving Alan in
    England with friends of the family. He was a super smart kid – in
    OF ALAN fact, his teachers thought he was a genius! The trouble was, that his
    TURING boarding school in Dorset mostly taught classics (ancient languages
    and literature) and Alan found these really dull.
    Alan loved maths. He spent most of his time at school
    solving complex chess problems and learning advanced
    science all on his own.

    E D U C AT I O N When he was 16, Alan formed a very close friendship with a


    fellow pupil called Christopher. He inspired Alan to come out of
    OF ALAN his shell and work harder at school.

    When Christopher tragically died a couple of years later, Alan
    was determined to honour his memory by devoting himself to
    study. So, in 1931, he headed to King’s College, University of
    Cambridge, to study maths. Shortly after, in 1936, he moved
    to Princeton University in the USA to complete a PhD.
    Cryptanalysis. During the Second World War, Turing was a leading
    participant in the breaking of German ciphers at Bletchley Park.
