8vo. 438 pp. Publisher's cloth, spine detached, Cambridge, C.U.P. Slightly browned. Fifth edition. - Alan Turing's copy, acquired by him (from Galloway & Porter), shortly after going up to Cambridge. The front free endpaper is signed "A. M. Turing", with the date, "February 1931", at the foot. One of his earliest acquisitions at Cambridge.Soon after Turing's arrival in Cambridge he had "settled upon mathematics rather than science as his future course at Cambridge. In February 1931 he acquired G.H. Hardy's Pure Mathematics [included in the lot], the classic work with which university began" (Andrew Hodges, Alan Turing: The Enigma, 1983).Provenance: Alan Turing (1912-1954); Robin Gandy (1919-1995), Turing's friend and one of his executors; bequeathed to Wolfson College. A Fellow of Wolfson from 1970 until his death in 1995, Gandy generously left his entire estate to the College, including these books once owned by Alan Turing, with the wish that his legacy be used to benefit the College and its students.
