In 1840 he invented a calculatingmachine, built in wood that was much admired by his contemporariesAugustus De Morgan, Charles Babbage,George Airey and many others. The machine used a tertiary calculatingmodel)

(*Alan Turing (1912-1954) was a Britishmathematician and is considered to be one of the fathers of ArtificialIntelligence. He provided an influential formalisation of the conceptof algorithm and computation: the Turing machine. He formulated the nowwidely accepted Church-Turing thesis, namely that every other practicalcomputing model had either the equivalent or a subset of thecapabilities of a Turing machine. During World War II he headed asuccessful effort of breaking the German secret code. After the war, heworked with one of the earliest digital computers, and later heprovided a provocative contribution to the discussion 'Can machinesthink?')
