Andrew Hodges
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andrew Hodges (born in London, 1949) is a mathematician, an author and a pioneer of the gay liberation movement of the 1970s. For the past decades (since 1972) Hodges has focused his research activities on the twistor theory — the new approach to the problems of fundamental physics pioneered by the mathematician Roger Penrose. He is perhaps best known as the author of Alan Turing: The Enigma, the story of the extraordinary British computer pioneer and codebreaker. The book was chosen by Michael Holroyd as part of a list of 50 'essential' books (that were currently available in print) in the The Guardian, 1 June 2002.[1] He is also the author of works that popularize science and mathematics. He is currently a Tutorial Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford University.
