‎First appearance of Tschirnhaus's three exceedingly important papers which were to to initiate one of the most famous mathematical discoveries. In the papers he used infinitisimal methods which were very close to Leibniz's method and where he tried to lay down criteria for rational quadratures in the case of conic, cubic and quadratic curves, papers that led Leibniz to publish his first paper on the differential calculus, the ""Nova Methoda"" in the Acta for 1684 in order to secure his priority over Tschirnhaus concerning the calculus. Leibniz discovered, when he read Tschirnhaus' papers, that Tschirnhaus had here published results showing similarity with Leibniz's invention of the calculus as he had confided to Tschirnhaus earlier, during their Parisian stay, and this without references to Leibniz.The present volume of Acta also contain the first edition of Tschirnhaus' ""Tschirnhaus Tranformation"". Tschirnhaus work intensively on finding a general method for solving equations of higher of higher degree. ""His transformations constituted the most promising contribution to the solution of equations during the seventeenth century" but his elimination of the second and third coefficients by means of such transformation was far from adequate for the solution of the quintic.(Boyer. A History of Mathematics, 1968, 472 p.).Tschirnhaus (1651-1708) , a Saxon nobleman, had as wide interest as acquaintances: He studied in Leyden, served in the Dutch army, visited England and Paris several times. He set up a glassworks in Italy and is said to have introduced Porcelain to Europe. He wrote about philosophy and mathematics and was a close friend of Leibniz.‎

Tukey's range test, the Tukey lambda distribution, Tukey's test of additivity and Tukey's lemma all bear his name.""John Tukey's whole life was one of public service, and as the preceding quotes make clear, he had profound influence. He was a member of the President's Scientific Advisory Committee for each of Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. He was special in many ways. He merged the scientific, governmental, technological, and industrial worlds more seamlessly than, perhaps, anyone else in the 1900s. His scientific knowledge, creativity, experience, calculating skills, and energy were prodigious. He was renowned for creating statistical concepts and words. JWT's graduate work was in mathematics, but driven by World War II, he left that field to go on to revolutionize the world of the analysis of data. At the end of the war he began a joint industrial-academic career at Bell Telephone Laboratories and at Princeton University. Science and the analysis of data were ubiquitous. This split career continued until he retired in 1985. Even after retirement his technical and scientific work continued at a very high level.He is said to have introduced the terms: ""bit"", ""linear programming"", ""ANOVA"", ""Colonel Blotto"", and was first into print with ""software"". Of these efforts L. Hogben and M. Cartwright wrote, ""The introduction by Tukey of bits for binary digits has nothing but irresponsible vulgarity to commend it."" Tukey's word ""polykay"" was described as ""linguistic miscegenation"" by Kendall and Stuart because of its combining a Greek prefix with a Latin suffix. JWT did it again later with ""polyspectrum"".

‎First printing of Turing's first published paper devoted to the Riemann-zeta function, the basis for his famous ""Zeta-function Machine"", a foundation for the digital computer.While working on his Ph.D.-thesis, Turing was concerned with a few other subjects as well, one of them seemingly having nothing to do with logic, namely that of analytic number theory. The problem that Turing here took up was that of the famous Riemann Hypothesis, more precisely the aspect of it that concerns the distribution of prime numbers. This is the problem that Hilbert in 1900 listed as one of the most important unsolved problems of mathematics. Turing began investigating the zeros of the Rieman zeta-function and certain of its consequences. The initial work on this was never published, though, but nevertheless he continued his work. ""Turing had ideas for the design of an ""analogue"" machine for calculating the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function, similar to the one used in Liverpool for calculating the tides."" (Herken, The Universal Turing Machine: A Half-Century Survey, p. 110). Having worked on the zeta-function since his Ph.D.-thesis but never having published anything directly on the topic, Turing began working as chief cryptanalyst during the Second World War and thus postponed this important work till after the war. Thus, it was not until 1945 that he was actually able to publish his first work on this most important subject, namely the work that he had presented already in 1939, the groundbreaking ""A Method for the Calculation of the Zeta-Function"", which constitutes his first printed contribution to the subject.""After the publication of his paper ""On computable Numbers,"" Turing had begun investigating the Riemann zeta-function calculation, an aspect of the Riemann hypothesis concerning the distribution of prime numbers... Turing's work on this problem was interrupted by World War II, but in 1950 he resumed his investigations with the aid of the Manchester University Mark I [one of the earliest general purpose digital computers]...""

In the appendix of his milestone-paper ""On Computable Numbers"" from 1936, Turing gave a short outline of a method for proving that his notion of computability is equivalent with Alonzo Church's notion of lambda-definabilty. It was not until the present article, however, that it was proved that Steven Kleene's general recursive functions, Church's lambda-definable functions and Turing's computable functions were all identical. Kleene had already proved that every general recursive function is lambda-definable, so by showing that computability follows from lambda-definability and that general recursiveness follows from computability, Turing had ended the circle, which was a primary reason for its acceptance as a notion of ""effective calculable"" demanded by Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem.""The purpose of the present paper is to show that the computable functions introduced by the author (in ""On computable numbers"") are identical with the lambda-definable functions of Church and the general recursive functions due to Herbrand and Gödel and developed by Kleene.""

‎First printing of this important paper in which Turing for the very first time introduced the concept of LU factorization or LU decomposition. ""Turing's paper was one of the earliest attempts to examine the error analysis of the various methods of solving linear equations and inverting matrices. His analysis was basically sound. The main importance of the paper was that it was published at the dawn of the modern computing era, and it gave indications of which methods were 'safe' when solving such problems on a computer"". (Burgoyne, Collected Works of A M Turing).""In 1945, [Turing] declined an offer of a Fellowship at King's [College, Cambridge] in favour of joining the newly formed Mathematical Division at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL). His early work on computability, combined with his wartime experience in electronics, had fired him with an enthusiasm for working on the design of an electronic computer. ethe machine he designed, which was called the Automatic Computing Engine (ACE) in recognition of Babbage's pioneering work, was characteristically original…""While in the Mathematics Division of NPL, Turing became keenly interested in numerical analysis. His paper, ""Rounding-off Errors in Matrix Processes"", showed that the acute anxiety about the effect of rounding errors in Gaussian elimination was largely unjustified. This paper has been overshadowed to some extent by the von Neumann and Goldstine paper on matrix inversion, but it is a brilliant piece of work and would have repaid closer study at the time"". (""Turing, Alan M."" by James H. Wilkinson, p. 1803, in Encyclopedia of Computer Science, A. Ralston et al (eds.), 4th edition, Nature Publishing Group, 2000).In linear algebra, LU decomposition factorizes a matrix as the product of a lower triangular matrix and an upper triangular matrix. LU decomposition is a key step in several fundamental numerical algorithms in linear algebra such as solving a system of linear equations, inverting a matrix, or computing the determinant of a matrix.

Pp. 161-240. [Entire volume: (4), 475 pp.].‎


‎The rare first printing of Turing's Ph.D.-thesis, which ""opened new fields of investigation in mathematical logic"". This seminal work constitutes the first systematic attempt to deal with the Gödelian incompleteness theorem as well as the introduction to the notion of relative computing. After having studied at King's College at Cambridge from 1931 to 1934 and having been elected a fellow here in 1935, Turing, in 1936 wrote a work that was to change the future of mathematics, namely his seminal ""On Computable Numbers"", in which he answered the famous ""Entscheidungsproblem"", came up with his ""Universal Machine"" and inaugurated mechanical and electronic methods in computing. This most famous theoretical paper in the history of computing caught the attention of Church, who was teaching at Princeton, and in fact he gave to the famous ""Turing Machine"" its name. It was during Church's work with Turing's paper that the ""Church-Turing Thesis"" was born. After this breakthrough work, Newman, under whom Turing had studied at Cambridge, urged him to spend a year studying with Church, and in September 1936 he went to Princeton. It is here at Princeton, under the guidance of Church, that Turing in 1938 finishes his thesis [the present paper] and later the same year is granted the Ph.D. on the basis of it. The thesis was published in ""Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society"" in 1939, and after the publication of it, Turing did no more on the topic, leaving the actual breakthroughs to other generations. In his extraordinary Ph.D.-thesis Turing provides an ingenious method of proof, in which a union of systems prove their own consistency, disproving, albeit shifting the problem to even more complicated matters, Gödel's incompleteness theorem. It would be many years before the ingenious arguments and striking partial completeness result that Turing obtained in the present paper would be thoroughly investigated and his line of research continued. The present thesis also presents other highly important proofs and hypotheses that came to influence several branches of mathematics. Most noteworthy of these is the idea that was later to change the face of the general theory of computation, namely the attempt to produce an arithmetical problem that is not number-theoretical (in his sense). Turing's result is his seminal ""o-machines"""" he here introduces the notion of relative computing and augments the ""Turing Machines"" with so-called oracles (""o""), which allowed for the study of problems that could not be solved by the Turing machine. Turing, however, made no further use of his seminal o-machine, but it is that which Emil Post used as the basis for his theory of ""Degrees of Unsolvability"", crediting Turing with the result that for any set of natural numbers there is another of higher degree of unsolvability. This transformed the notion of computability from an absolute notion into a relative one, which led to entirely new developments and in turn to vastly generalized forms of recursion theory. ""In 1939 Turing published ""Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals,""... This paper had a far-reaching influence"" in 1942 E.L. Post drew upon it for one of his theories for classifying unsolvable problems, while in 1958 G. Kreisel suggested the use of ordinal logics in characterizing informal methods of proof. In the latter year S. Feferman also adapted Turing's ideas to use ordinal logics in predicative mathematics."" (D.S.B. XIII:498). A part from these groundbreaking points, which Turing never returned to himself, he here also considers intuition versus technical ingenuity in mathematical reasoning, does so in an interesting and provocative manner and comes to present himself as one of the most important thinkers of modern mathematical as well as philosophical logic.""Turing turned to the exploration of the uncomputable for his Princeton Ph.D. thesis (1938), which then appeared as ""Systems of Logic based on Ordinals"" (Turing 1939). It is generally the view, as expressed by Feferman (1988), that this work was a diversion from the main thrust of his work. But from another angle, as expressed in (Hodges 1997), one can see Turing's development as turning naturally from considering the mind when following a rule, to the action of the mind when not following a rule. In particular this 1938 work considered the mind when seeing the truth of one of Gödel's true but formally unprovable propositions, and hence going beyond rules based on the axioms of the system. As Turing expressed it (Turing 1939, p. 198), there are 'formulae, seen intuitively to be correct, but which the Gödel theorem shows are unprovable in the original system.' Turing's theory of 'ordinal logics' was an attempt to 'avoid as far as possible the effects of Gödel's theorem' by studying the effect of adding Gödel sentences as new axioms to create stronger and stronger logics. It did not reach a definitive conclusion.In his investigation, Turing introduced the idea of an 'oracle' capable of performing, as if by magic, an uncomputable operation. Turing's oracle cannot be considered as some 'black box' component of a new class of machines, to be put on a par with the primitive operations of reading single symbols, as has been suggested by (Copeland 1998). An oracle is infinitely more powerful than anything a modern computer can do, and nothing like an elementary component of a computer. Turing defined 'oracle-machines' as Turing machines with an additional configuration in which they 'call the oracle' so as to take an uncomputable step. But these oracle-machines are not purely mechanical. They are only partially mechanical, like Turing's choice-machines. Indeed the whole point of the oracle-machine is to explore the realm of what cannot be done by purely mechanical processes...Turing's oracle can be seen simply as a mathematical tool, useful for exploring the mathematics of the uncomputable. The idea of an oracle allows the formulation of questions of relative rather than absolute computability. Thus Turing opened new fields of investigation in mathematical logic. However, there is also a possible interpretation in terms of human cognitive capacity."" (SEP).Following an oral examination in May, in which his performance was noted as ""Excellent,"" Turing was granted his PhD in June 1938.‎

‎First appearance of these two paper's by Turing.Turing's paper ""A Formal Theorem in Church's Theory of Types"" is a significant contribution to the fields of computer science and mathematical logic. By providing a formal proof within Church's theory, Turing expanded our understanding of computation and its relationship to logic. His work on computability and the theory of types laid the foundation for the development of theoretical computer science, proof theory, and automated reasoning. Turing's paper continues to be a landmark in the study of computation, inspiring further research and practical applications in diverse areas of science and technology. In ""The Use of Dots as Brackets in Church's System"", introducing the dot parentheses notation, Turing simplified the representation and manipulation of lambda calculus expressions, making them more intuitive and manageable. His work highlighted the relationship between syntax and semantics, laying the foundation for further research in formal semantics and the development of programming languages. Turing's paper continues to be influential, shaping the way complex expressions are represented and reasoned about in the fields of computation, formal systems, and logic.‎
