    Springer Nature Turning Machine Illustration

    Graphical representation of a “Turing Machine”, a hypothetical device devised by Alan Turing (1912-1954) to represent the logic of a computer. The binary code depicted translates to one of Turing’s memorable quotes: Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition. This illustration was created by one of the talented team of designers at Springer Nature.

    Springer Nature is the publisher of some of the world’s most influential, cutting-edge research and highly cited science, technology, and medicine journals. The Library is happy to announce enhanced access to Springer Nature journals with the inclusion of eight additional titles.
