Return to The Worlds of David Darling INDEX LATEST NEWS ARCHIVE ... Z entire Web this site Shannon, Claude Elwood (1916-2001) An American mathematician and pioneer of information theory . Shannon was the first to realize that any sort of message can be transmitted as a series of 0's and 1's, regardless of whether it consists of words, numbers, pictures, or sound. In his Master's thesis, he explained how electrical switches could represent binary Boolean algebra to show that complex operations could be carried out automatically on these electrical circuits, thus manipulating the data they were storing. It was in one of his papers, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" published in 1948, that the word "bit" (short for binary digit) was used for the first time. In fact the framework and terminology for information theory he developed remains standard today. Shannon was driven by curiosity, and in his own words he "just wondered how things were put together". Among his inventions were rocket-powered Frisbees, motorized Pogo sticks, a device that could solve the Rubik's cube puzzle, and a juggling machine. (He himself could ride a unicycle while juggling three balls.) He was involved in pioneering artificial intelligence research, which included building the electromechanical mouse called "Theseus" that could navigate a metal maze using magnetic signals. Shannon also built a chess-playing computer, many years before IBM's Deep Blue, that played well against the world champion of the time, Mikhail Botvinnik (the computer lost only after 42 moves).

46. Shannon, Claude Elwood shannon, claude Elwood (1916) shannon reduced the notion of information to a series of yes/no choices, which could be presented by a binary code. http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/S/Shannon/1.html

Shannon, Claude Elwood US mathematician who founded the science of information theory. He argued that entropy is equivalent to a shortage of information content (a degree of uncertainty), and obtained a quantitative measure of the amount of information in a given message. Shannon reduced the notion of information to a series of yes/no choices, which could be presented by a binary code. Each choice, or piece of information, he called a 'bit'. In this way, complex information could be organized according to strict mathematical principles. He also wrote the first effective program for a chess-playing computer. His book The Mathematical Theory of Communication 1949 was written with W Weaver (1894-1978). Shannon was born in Gaylord, Michigan, and studied at the University of Michigan and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). From 1941 he worked at the Bell Telephone Laboratories, but he also held academic positions at MIT from 1956, and in 1958 he left Bell to become professor of science. As early as 1938 Shannon began examining the question of a mathematical approach to language. His methods, although devised in the context of engineering and technology, were soon seen to have applications not only to computer design but to virtually every subject in which language was important, such as linguistics, psychology, cryptography, and phonetics; further applications were possible in any area where the transmission of information in any form was important.

Claude Shannon (1916 - ) I n 1936, graduate student Claude Shannon arrived at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the best tradition of grad. students, Shannon was short of money, and happy to be recruited by his professor, Vannevar Bush, to tend the unwieldy entrails of Bush's mechanical computing device - the Differential Analyser. The Differential Analyser, while a marvel of scientific engineering for its time, was a lot of hard work to maintain. Basically an assembly of shafts and gears, the gears themselves had to be manually configured to specific ratios before any problem could be ‘fed’ to the machine - a boring, laborious - and extremely messy - business. (“I had to kind of, you know, fix [it] from time to time to keep it going”.) Encouraged by Bush to base his master's thesis on the logical operation of the Differential Analyser, Shannon inevitably considered ways of improving it, perhaps by using electrical circuits instead of the present cumbersome collection of mechanical parts. Not long afterwards, it dawned on Shannon that the Boolean algebra he'd learned as an undergraduate was in fact very similar to an electric circuit. The next obvious step would be to lay out circuitry according to Boolean principles, allowing the circuits to binary-test propositions as well as calculate problems.

Notes on Computer-Generated Text Contents of this page: Claude Shannon , the "father of information science" Word pairs as a tool for analyzing linguistic style But is that computer actually saying anything? , or, philosophical considerations on computer-generated text Claude Shannon My prediction (remember, you heard it here first) is that the name of Claude Elwood Shannon (1916- ) will be a household word 250 years from now. Historians of the future will hail Shannon as the father of the Information Age, much as we now see Newton as the author of the Scientific Revolution, some 250 years previously. Both Shannon and Newton created a solid mathematical foundation for the key technologies of their age (Shannon for information and communication theory, Newton for mechanical physics), thus turning them into true sciences and unleashing vast changes in knowledge, industry, and society. Shannon's master's thesis (MIT, 1937) investigated the use of electrical circuits to model logical statements. Shannon was one of the few people of his day familiar with both electrical engineering and the mathematical logic of Boolean algebra. He showed how electrical switches could be used to carry out calculations and detailed instructional procedures, thus foreshadowing the electronic computer. After MIT, Shannon joined Bell Telephones in 1941 as a research mathematician. In 1949, with the strong urging of his colleagues, he published

57. Shannon's Communication Theory claude shannon (1916 ). and. Communication Theory. In the late 1940s claude shannon, a research mathematician at Bell Telephone Laboratories, http://www.exploratorium.edu/complexity/CompLexicon/Shannon.html

Claude Shannon (1916- ) and Communication Theory In the late 1940s Claude Shannon, a research mathematician at Bell Telephone Laboratories, invented a mathematical theory of communication that gave the first systematic framework in which to optimally design telephone systems. The main questions motivating this were how to design telephone systems to carry the maximum amount of information and how to correct for distortions on the lines. His ground-breaking approach introduced a simple abstraction of human communication, called the channel. Shannon's communication channel consisted of a sender (a source of information), a transmission medium (with noise and distortion), and a receiver (whose goal is to reconstruct the sender's messages). In order to quantitatively analyze transmission through the channel he also introduced a measure of the amount of information in a message. To Shannon the amount of information is a measure of surprise and is closely related to the chance of one of several messages being transmitted. For Shannon a message is very informative if the chance of its occurrence is small. If, in contrast, a message is very predictable, then it has a small amount of information-one is not surprised to receive it. To complete his quantiative analysis of the communication channel, Shannon introduced the entropy rate, a quantity that measured a source's information production rate and also a measure of the information carrying capacity, called the communication channel capacity.
