May 2001 Features RIP Claude Shannon by Rachel Thomas What do the following all have in common: digital communications, juggling machines, mechanical maze-solving mice and motorized pogo sticks? The answer is that they were all invented by the mathematician Claude Shannon. Shannon was one of the most important mathematicians of the 20th century, whose work in the 1940s became the foundation for the technology that enables you to view this web page via your telephone line. He was the first person to realise that any sort of message, including this web page, could be transmitted as a series of 0's and 1's, regardless of whether it was words, numbers, pictures or sound.

General Computing Terms Claude Shannon Claude Elwood Shannon, a mathematician born in Gaylord, Michigan (U.S.) in 1916, is credited with two important contributions to information technology: the application of Boolean theory to electronic switching, thus laying the groundwork for the digital computer, and developing the new field called information theory . It is difficult to overstate the impact which Claude Shannon has had on the 20th century and the way we live and work in it, yet he remains practically unknown to the general public. Shannon spent the bulk of his career, a span of over 30 years from 1941 to 1972, at Bell Labs where he worked as a mathematician dedicated to research. While a graduate student at MIT in the late 1930s, Shannon worked for

Shannon Encyclopedia Shannon, Claude Elwood, 1916–2001, American applied mathematician, b. Gaylord, Michigan. A student of Vannevar Bush at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he was the first to propose the application of symbolic logic to the design of relay circuitry with his paper “A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits” (1938). His insight that all data could be encoded as a series of 1's and 0's pioneered the breakthrough in digital electronics that led to the modern digital computer and telecommunications networks. Shannon worked at Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1941–72 and initiated the field of information theory with his 1948 paper “A Mathematical Theory of Communication,” which was retitled The Mathematical Theory of Communication when published in 1949 with a preface by Warren Weaver .

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO CLAUDE SHANNON Note: excerpts of this tribute appeared in the May/June 2001 issue of 'Juggle' magazine. Reprinted by permission. By Professor Arthur Lewbel ( home page March, 2001. Here are some photos of Claude's juggling machines Here is a rare movie of Claude demonstrating his two most famous juggling machines (from the 1985 Canadian Broadcasting Company program, "The Nature of Things." quicktime movie Claude Elwood Shannon 1916-2001. Survived by his wife Mary Elizabeth (Betty) Shannon, a son, Andrew Shannon, and a daughter, Margarita "Peggy" Shannon. Many Jugglers have heard about the juggling robot invented by Claude Shannon, and jugglers of a mathematical bent will know of Shannon's juggling theorem. However, among mathematicians and computer scientists, Claude Shannon is a legend, widely recognized as one of the most brilliant men of the twentieth century. It is impossible to overstate his importance in the early development of computers and digital communication. In 1990, Scientific American called his paper on information theory, "The Magna Carta of the Information Age." In the 1980's Claude quietly showed up at a computer science lecture (after having been away from the field for many years). One attendee said, "It was as if Isaac Newton had showed up at a physics conference." When people realized who he was they pushed him on stage. He gave a very short speech, then juggled a bit. Afterwards, attendees lined up to get his autograph.

Heroes of Cyberspace: Claude Shannon by Charles A. Gimon for INFO NATION "We want information...information..." Number Two, in "The Prisoner" Claude Shannon isn't well known to the public at large, but he is one of a handful of scientists and thinkers who made our world of instant communications possible. Born in Gaylord, Michigan in 1916, into a fairly well-educated and intellectually stimulating environment, his younger days were spent working with radio kits and morse code, an early start to a promising career. (Later, he would remember Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Gold Bug", with its simple cryptogram, as another early influence.) In the late 1930s at MIT, he did important work showing how logic could be applied to the design of relay circuitsin short, that the true-and-false of Boolean logic could be the same as the on-and-off of an electric switch. For this pioneering work, important for both phones and computers, Shannon received his doctorate in 1940. Shannon then spent 31 years at Bell Labs , starting in 1941. Among the many things Shannon worked on there, one great conceptual leap stands out. In 1948, Shannon published "The Mathematical Theory of Communication" in the Bell System Technical Journal, along with Warren Weaver. This surprisingly readable (for a technical paper) document is the basis for what we now call information theorya field that has made all modern electronic communications possible, and could lead to astounding insights about the physical world and ourselves.
