The release date of the new note coincides with what would have been his birthday. The mathematician, computer scientist and theoretical biologist was best known for helping accelerate Allied efforts to read German Naval messages enciphered with the Enigma machine, which brought World War II to an end years earlier than expected and saved countless lives in the process.
Turing was also celebrated for his development of early computers, first at the National Physical Laboratory, where he designed the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) – one of the first designs for a stored-program computer – and later at the University of Manchester, where he helped develop the innovate Manchester computers.
