" The term made an impact into English pulp science fiction starting from Jack Williamson's The Cometeers ( 1936 ) and the distinction between mechanical robots and fleshy androids was popularized by Edmond Hamilton's Captain Future ( 1940 – 1944 ).

Subsequent formalizations were framed as attempts to define " effective calculability " or " effective method "; those formalizations included the Gödel – Herbrand – Kleene recursive functions of 1930, 1934 and 1935, Alonzo Church's lambda calculus of 1936, Emil Post's " Formulation 1 " of 1936, and Alan Turing's Turing machines of 1936 – 7 and 1939.

In the following, Marvin Minsky defines the numbers to be computed in a manner similar to those defined by Alan Turing in 1936, i. e. as " sequences of digits interpreted as decimal fractions " between 0 and 1:

: In late 1936 Alan Turing's paper ( also proving that the Entscheidungsproblem is unsolvable ) was deliverd orally, but had not yet appeared in print.

In 1936 and 1937, Alonzo Church and Alan Turing, respectively, published independent papers showing that a general solution to the Entscheidungsproblem is impossible.

This was done by Alonzo Church in 1936 with the concept of " effective calculability " based on his λ calculus and by Alan Turing in the same year with his concept of Turing machines.

The negative answer to the was then given by Alonzo Church in 1935 – 36 and independently shortly thereafter by Alan Turing in 1936 – 37.

Alan Turing's 1936 paper proved enormously influential in computing and computer science in two ways.

* 1936 – Alan J. Heeger, American chemist, Nobel laureate

The " Turing " machine was described in 1936 by Alan Turing

Meanwhile, string rewriting rules as formal, abstract systems were introduced and studied by mathematicians such as Axel Thue ( in 1914 ), Emil Post ( 1920s – 1940s ) and Alan Turing ( 1936 ).

Alan Turing introduced this machine in 1936 – 1937.

The earliest circuit that is truly recognizable as a long-tailed pair in its conventional form is given by Matthews ( 1934 ) and the same circuit form appears in a patent submitted by Alan Blumlein in 1936.

In 1936, Post developed, independently of Alan Turing, a mathematical model of computation that was essentially equivalent to the Turing machine model.

Theoretical computer science is founded on the Turing machine, an imaginary computing machine first described by Alan Turing in 1936.

Turing adds another definition, Rosser equates all three: Within just a short time, Turing's 1936 – 37 paper " On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem " appeared.

And in a proof-sketch added as an " Appendix " to his 1936 – 37 paper, Turing showed that the classes of functions defined by λ-calculus and Turing machines coincided.

Referring to his 1936 publication, Turing wrote that the Turing machine, here called a Logical Computing Machine, consisted of:

Turing described such a construction in complete detail in his 1936 paper:

The stored-program computer idea can be traced back to the 1936 theoretical concept of a universal Turing machine.

Church ( 1936a, 1936b ) and Turing ( 1936 ), inspired by techniques used by Gödel ( 1931 ) to prove his incompleteness theorems, independently demonstrated that the Entscheidungsproblem is not effectively decidable.

The main form of computability studied in recursion theory was introduced by Turing ( 1936 ).
