In 1937,
a
significant theoretical foundation for
computer science
was laid by
mathematician
Alan Turing
. He introduced the
concept
of the
Turing machine
, which is
a
mathematical model
that
defines
an
abstract machine
capable of performing
computations
. This
model
serves
as
a
fundamental
concept
in
computer science
, providing
a
framework for understanding algorithmic processes and the limits of what can be computed. Additionally, in the same
era
,
Claude Shannon
was also making strides in the field of
information theory
.
