"Between inventing the concept of a universal computer in 1936 and breaking the German Enigma code during World War II, Alan Turing (1912 1954), the British founder of computer science and artificial intelligence, came to Princeton University to study mathematical logic. Some of the greatest logicians in the world including Alonzo Church, Kurt Gödel, John von Neumann, and Stephen Kleene were at Princeton in the 1930s, and they were working on ideas that would lay the groundwork for what would become known as computer science.".
