1936 in computing

The year 1936 is significant in the history of computing primarily due to the work of the mathematician Alan Turing. In that year, Turing published a groundbreaking paper titled "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem," in which he introduced the concept of the Turing machine. This theoretical construct helped lay the foundation for modern computer science by formalizing the idea of computation and algorithms.
