This is a documentary about unsung heroes of World The Bletchley Park Codebreakers II. Ina year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But The Bletchley Park Codebreakers was also to be used during the Cold War - which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognized. Written by Enzedder.

As the codebreaking process became more mechanised, and the volume of intercepts grew, many more staff were recruited from a wider range of sources. The remainder were recruited through the Civil Service. As a consequence civilians and uniformed personnel worked alongside each other in most sections.

The Codebreakers: Who Worked at Bletchley Park During World War Two? – History Hit Bletchley became part of this founding myth with the release of details about the operation, which seemed to suggest it was the reason Britain won the war, added Ferris. Some historians have argued that the success in cracking the Enigma codes shaved two years off the war, but Ferris believes it more likely made victory easier, and quicker by several months. GCHQ is the largest UK intelligence agency today and Ferris was given access to archives during his research, according to a press release The Bletchley Park Codebreakers the publication of the book. Signals intelligence involves producing intelligence from intercepted communications. As conventional military forces have decreased in size, the role of technology has increased, and with it the importance of agencies like GCHQ, he added. How fast does a lie travel?

  • [ATY/TCAC] Update - January 7, 2014
    [ATY/TCAC] Update - January 7, 2014 At last - the promised New Year 2014 update. We've attempted to organise the items into themes. It is hard to avoid starting with the Royal Pardon ... but before that: A TURING YEAR 2014 CARD FROM HONG KONG ATY 1) We asked Loke Lay in Hong Kong if her creative friends might design a card for the start of Turing Year 2014 - 60 years since Alan Turing's passing in 1954. After much work and one or two revisions, this was the outcome - beautiful, we think - small version at: http://www.turingcentenary.eu/ or full-size image at: http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/Images/Card_vChun.jpg Notice the diamond (60th anniversary) design theme. We asked Loke Lay for a list of friends who helped with the card - her list: --------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Winnie Fu's (official) designer, "Ah-B" Bede Leung. (2) Winnie Fu's "Hong Kong Film Archive" assistants, Gladys and Kay. (3) Ernest Chan Chi-Wa, Chair of "Hong Kong Film Critics Society". (4) "The Wonder Lad" Law Chi-Chun, Senior Executive Officer of "Hong Kong Computer Society". ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- She added: This time "Ah-Chun" has saved The Card in the early morning of New Year's Day, like Arnold Schwarzenegger saving Edward Furlong in "Terminator 2"!! Originally, a more complex, cryptic and sombre version of the card was produced, and simplified (by request) to the final version - we may share the original later in the year. Loke Lay also sent photos of media coverage of the pardon: http://www.mathcomp.leeds.ac.uk/turing2012/Images/sing-tao1.jpg ALAN TURING's ROYAL PARDON This has given rise to the most extensive national and international media coverage of Alan Turing and his legacy ever.

His ideas led to the Bombe, an electro-mechanical device which deciphered machines like ENIGMA accurately and efficiently. Turing’s works tested the limits of technology and broke barriers in theoretical computer science by redefining the capabilities of computers and laying the groundwork for artificial intelligence. Picture of Title Picture of Left Panel of Exhibit Picture & Text on Left Panel 1 of 2 Context “The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us to making available what we are already acquainted with.” –Ada Lovelace, Creator of the Analytical Engine “Babbage’s computer used vast banks of rotating drums. The design was truly unprecedented and visionary, allowing it to store 1,000 numbers, each stretching to 40 decimal digits. Just like a modern computer, it incorporated a separate processor and memory bank, looping, and conditional branching.

  • Alan Turing: True to Himself
    ALAN TURING: TRUE TO HIMSELF OVERVIEW Alan Turing (1912-1954) was an accomplished British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher, physicist, and biologist. He is often referred to as the father of the modern day computer and is credited with breaking the Nazi Enigma Code. WWII British cryptographer Captain Jerry Roberts is quoted as saying, “Without him – we would have lost the war.i” Soon after the end of the war, the British government awarded Turing with the Order of the British Empire for his contributions. Turing was also openly gay and in the early 1950s was arrested and punished for his sexual orientation by the same government he served. From his earliest days in school to his enduring legacy, Turing faced many challenges, yet, stayed true to himself by pursing his love of science and living an open, honest life. True to Himself provides secondary educators with student handouts, suggested discussion questions, extension ideas and additional resources to help students learn more about this extraordinary man and the context in which he lived. AGE/EXPERIENCE LEVEL Grades 9-12 SUGGESTED DISCUSSION TOPICS Invite students to read the included biography and/or additional background information on Alan Turing. Then, lead a class discussion using the suggested topics and questions below as a guide. 1. Turing’s early school experiences were not very positive. Some teachers recognized his high intelligence but did not respect it. His report card was filled with criticism. Ranked at the bottom of his class, one English teacher

  • BLETCHLEY PARK the 'Testery'
    BLETCHLEY PARK The ‘Testery’ and the contribution made by the Intelligence Corps The battle to ‘break’ Enigma was not the only one being fought in 1942. Much of the high level traffic believed to be from Hitler and the High Command was being sent by teleprinter. The teleprinter signals being transmitted by the Germans, and enciphered using Lorenz, were first heard in 1940 by a group of police wireless operators on the South Coast who were listening out for possible German spy transmissions from inside the UK. Originally traffic interception was concentrated at the Foreign Office Y Station operated by the Metropolitan Police at Denmark Hill in Camberwell but, due to lack of resources at this time, 1941, it was given a low priority. A new Y Station, Ivy Farm Communications Centre Knockholt in Kent, was later constructed specifically to intercept Tunny traffic so that the messages could be efficiently recorded and sent to Bletchley Park. ‘FISH’ became the GC & CS’ generic code-name for the distinctive German radio signal that they had been intercepting on a regular basis since the outbreak of war, known by Y Station operators, used to listening to morse code transmissions, as "new music". Enigma decrypts had also revealed that the Germans called one of their wireless teleprinter transmission systems "Sägefisch" (sawfish), which led British cryptographers to refer to encrypted German teleprinter traffic as “Fish. It had been concluded that it was a non-morse radio teletype and there was a great concern that this could take over from Enigma, particularly as the volume of messages was steadily increasing.

  • The Contributions of W.T. Tutte to Matroid Theory
    The contributions of W.T. Tutte to matroid theory Graham Farr and James Oxley Abstract Bill Tutte was born on May 14, 1917 in Newmarket, England. In 1935, he began studying at Trinity College, Cambridge reading natural sciences specializ- ing in chemistry. After completing a master’s degree in chemistry in 1940, he was recruited to work at Bletchley Park as one of an elite group of codebreakers that included Alan Turing. While there, Tutte performed “one of the greatest intellec- tual feats of the Second World War.” Returning to Cambridge in 1945, he com- pleted a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1948. Thereafter, he worked in Canada, first in Toronto and then as a founding member of the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo. His contributions to graph theory alone mark him as arguably the twentieth century’s leading researcher in that subject. He also made groundbreaking contributions to matroid theory including proving the first excluded-minor theorems for matroids, one of which generalized Kuratowski’s Theorem. He extended Menger’s Theorem to matroids and laid the foundations for structural matroid theory. In addition, he introduced the Tutte polynomial for graphs and extended it and some relatives to matroids. This paper will highlight some of his many contributions focusing particularly on those to matroid theory. 1 Introduction The task of summarizing Bill Tutte’s mathematical contributions in a short paper is an impossible one. There are too many, they are too deep, and their implications are too far-reaching. This paper will discuss certain of these contributions giving Graham Farr Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria 3800, Australia, e-mail: [email protected] James Oxley Mathematics Department, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA, e-mail: ox- [email protected] 1 2 Graham Farr and James Oxley particular emphasis to his work in matroid theory and the way in which that work links to graph theory.

  • Kurt G\U00f6del and the Foundations of Mathematics: Horizons of Truth
    This page intentionally left blank Kurt Godel¨ and the Foundations of Mathematics Horizons of Truth This volume commemorates the life, work, and foundational views of Kurt Godel¨ (1906–1978), most famous for his hallmark works on the completeness of first-order logic, the incompleteness of number theory, and the consistency – with the other widely accepted axioms of set theory – of the axiom of choice and of the generalized continuum hypothesis. It explores current research, advances, and ideas for future directions not only in the foundations of mathematics and logic but also in the fields of computer science, artificial intelligence, physics, cosmology, philosophy, theology, and the history of science. The discussion is supplemented by personal reflections from several scholars who knew Godel¨ personally, providing some interesting insights into his life. By putting his ideas and life’s work into the context of current thinking and perceptions, this book will extend the impact of Godel’s¨ fundamental work in mathematics, logic, philosophy, and other disciplines for future generations of researchers. Matthias Baaz is currently University Professor and Head of the Group for Computational Logic at the Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry at the Vienna University of Technology. Christos H. Papadimitriou is C. Lester Hogan Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley, where he has taught since 1996 and where he is a former Miller Fellow. Hilary W.

"... Almost ail the verdure which delights his eyes is the gift of water at the hand of man , • • " — Vol. X of John L. Stoddard Lectures on Southern California 1898. The image of the desert has long been a hostile one. Early explorers found the Colorado Desert no exception. Undaunted early settlers and homesteaders brought the first changes to this concept, and water provided reclamation's magic, now apparent in the Coachella Valley. The coming of the railroad was an important factor in opening the desert to settlement. The homesteaders were intrepid, curious and determined, and they brought perseverance to bend the will of the desert to their own plans. The discovery of the great underground water resources by the railroad provided the first stimulus and a trickle of farmers. Additional farmers dug more wells, punched them deeper with hydraulic rigs, put electrically-powered engines to work and carried the flow of water to the thirsting, fertile land. Then came the Colorado River through a canal 123V2 miles long, convert­ ing hopes and dreams to realities, opening nearly 40,000 acres in less than two decades. Water, machines, men and money turned the desert green, from dunes and brush to farmlands and golf ocurses, from a land of silence to one of in­ dustry and homes, schools, churches and recreation.
