Alan Mathison Turing (1912-1954) was an outstanding British mathematician whose pioneering work underpins much of contemporary computer science and artificial intelligence.

The Heriot-Watt University "Turing's World" Short Story Competition invites students to write a short stort influenced by Turing's work. Stories should be a maximum of 2500 words, written in English and typed rather than handwritten.

Please speak to any member of the Mathematics Department if interested.
