Manchester is proud of Alan Turing but does it deserve to be? Dr Jonathan Swinton explores the complexity of the city that Alan Turing encountered in 1948. He goes well beyond Turing as a mathematician, to cover wire-women, Wittgenstein and the daisy. This book takes you across the city, from Hale to Moston, via the Festival of Britain and the seminar rooms and pick-up sites of the Oxford Road. It is a richly illustrated account of lives lived - and one life ended tragically early - in a post-war Manchester busy creating the computer. AUTHOR: Jonathan Swinton has a PhD in mathematics and has worked as a mathematical biologist for thirty years, including as a Visiting Professor in the University of Oxford and as a Fellow of King' s College, Cambridge. He has published several articles on Alan Turing' s work on Fibonacci patterns, and in 2012 conceived the international citizen science project Turing' s Sunflowers. This is his first book on Manchester, where he has lived, worked and loved since 2002. 100 colour illustrations
