Line 5: Born in [[Strood]], [[England]], he studied at [[Trinity College, Cambridge]], where he graduated top of the class. Taking up war work in 1940, he began working on ballistics but transferred to the [[National Physical Laboratory]] in 1946, where he worked with [[Alan Turing]] on the [[Pilot ACE\|ACE]] computer project. Later, Wilkinson's interests took him into the numerical analysis field, where he discovered many significant ~~algorithms~~[[algorithm]]s. He received the [[Turing Award]] in [[1970]] "for his research in numerical analysis to facilitiate the use of the high-speed digital computer, having received special recognition for his work in computations in linear algebra and 'backward' error analysis."
