Turing Machines are a theoretical model of computation that defines an abstract machine that can be used to simulate any computer algorithm. The Turing Machine was first described by Alan Turing in 1936, and it has since become a fundamental concept in computer science. Turing Machines are simple in design, but they are capable of performing complex computations. They can be used to solve a wide variety of problems, including those that cannot be solved by other types of computers.
