The Ratio Club was a group of British mathematicians and computer scientists formed in the 1950s. It was primarily known for its focus on the foundational aspects of computing and computational theory. The club included notable figures such as Christopher Strachey, who was influential in early programming language development, and Donald Michie, who contributed to artificial intelligence. The members of the Ratio Club engaged in discussions about the philosophy of mathematics and computation, the nature of intelligence, and the implications of automation.
