School Reports - Mathematics

1927 Not very good. He spends a good deal of time apparently in investigations in advanced mathematics to the neglect of his elementary work. A sound ground work is essential in any subject. His work is dirty.

1928 Easily the best mathematician in the set. His position is caused by untidiness and carelessness due largely to impatience to let on something great as soon as he has seen his way through a problem.

1930 A really able mathematician. His trouble is his untidiness & poor style, but he has tried hard to improve in this. He sometimes fails over a simple problem by trying to do it by complicated methods, instead of by an elementary one.

Mr Turing said“This is only a foretaste of what is to come, and only the shadow of what is going to be …..”

“I do not see why it should not enter any one of the fields normally covered by human intellect and eventually complete on equal terms.”

“…..research directed to finding the degree of intellectual activity of which a machine was capable, and to what extent it could think for itself.”
