Wiener, Norbert (1894-1964), American mathematician and founder of cybernetics Wiener specialized in mathematics and mathematical physics. During World War II (1939-1945), while engaged in research on antiaircraft-defense techniques, he attempted to produce a mathematical and electronic system for communicating vital information. Through this work, he became interested in automatic computing and feedback theory. He thus founded the science of cybernetics, which deals not only with the automatic control of machinery by computers and other electronic devices, but also the study of the human brain and nervous system and the relationship between the two communication and control systems. Wiener summarized his theories in Cybernetics (1948), and also wrote The Human Use of Human Beings (1950), Nonlinear Problems of Random Theory (1958), The Tempter (1959), and God and Golem, Inc. (1964).

48. Wiener, Norbert wiener, norbert (18941964) wiener was born in Columbia, Missouri, and received his PhD from Harvard at the age of 19. He then went to Europe to study http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/W/Wiener/1.html

Wiener, Norbert US mathematician, credited with the establishment of the science of cybernetics in his book Cybernetics 1948. In mathematics, he laid the foundation of the study of stochastic processes (those dependent on random events), particularly Brownian motion. Wiener was born in Columbia, Missouri, and received his PhD from Harvard at the age of 19. He then went to Europe to study under leading mathematicians ( Bertrand Russell at Cambridge, England, and David Hilbert Wiener devoted much of his efforts to methodology, developing mathematical approaches that could usefully be applied to continuously changing processes. During World War II, Wiener worked on the control of anti-aircraft guns (which required him to consider factors such as the machinery itself, the gunner, and the unpredictable evasive action on the part of the target's pilot), on filtering 'noise' from useful information for radar, and on coding and decoding. His investigations stimulated his interest in information transfer and processes such as information feedback.

Comparative Philosophy Two Specialists in Cybernetics: Stefan Odobleja and Norbert Weiner. Common and Different Features. Nicolae Jurcau Universitatea Tehnica Din Cluj-Napoca jurcau@utcluj.ro or Nicolae.Jurcau@dppd.utcluj.ro ABSTRACT: It is interesting to notice how two scientists who were, at the same time, of science and philosophers (Stefan Odobleja and Norbert Wiener) arrived at very close conclusions in their subjects within a decade. They lived and worked on so for off meridians, originating from very different media. Their names are mentioned in a chronological. In this work Stefan Odobleja was laying the theoretical foundations of the generalized cybernetics. It was forgotten for over 35 years, maybe also because of same difficulties caused by the Second World War. The book was printed in French and diffused by the famous "Librairie Maloine" from Paris The appearance of this pioneer work in the domain of cybernetics drew the attention of the scientists through only two published review. The first was published in a Romanian magazine (in 1939) and the second in the well-known American magazine "Psychological Abstracts" (p.59-60), in January 1941. S.M. Strong was signing the latter. It is also to be noticed that the author himself - Stefan Odobleja - has diffused the prospect by which he announced the participants at the International of Military Medicine about the appearance of this paper "Psychologie consonantiste". That Congress took place at Bucharest between 8-12 June 1939. At this Congress also participated a delegation of the Military Navy of USA, lead by Dr. W.S. Bainbridge.

A Memoir: From Philosophy to Mathematics to Biology by Walter Rosenblith and Jerome Wiesner Two months before his death, in a ceremony at the White House, Norbert Wiener was awarded the National Medal of Science. The citation by President Johnson said: " . . . for marvelously versatile contributions, profoundly original, ranging within pure and applied mathematics, and penetrating boldly into the engineering and biological sciences." Our assignment here is twofold: we want to explore how Wiener came to penetrate into biology, a field into which few real mathematicians had strayed before him; we should also like to assess, no matter how incompletely, the imprint that Wiener has left upon the sciences of Life and Man. From his early youth Wiener, the prodigy, acquired intensive experience in the manipulation of both mathematical and linguistic symbols; but his career choice seemed initially little related to these skills. Perhaps in part due to his father's acquaintance with Walter B. Cannon, Norbert seemed sufficiently interested in biology to become a graduate student in zoology at Harvard University, after he had graduated at the age of 14 from Tufts College. But, in spite of his interest in the subject matter, Norbert had neither the manual skill nor the patience to do well in the graduate courses in biology of that era. In one of his autobiographical books Wiener commented on the contrast between his quick insight into ideas and his extreme lack of manual dexterity as follows:

Under Karl T. Compton's presidency of M.I.T., the Departments of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics ceased being merely service departments and became the nucleus of a School of Science with increased commitment to what is today called Basic Research. But this enhanced status of mathematicians and of mathematical research did not lead Wiener to loosen his ties with his colleagues in the School of Engineering. On the contrary, during the 1930s, Vannevar Bush and several younger faculty members from M.I.T.'s Electrical Engineering Department interacted with Wiener in ways that came to affect the future of computer and communications engineering significantly, particularly through the use of sophisticated mathematical techniques. Bush was beginning to overcome the technical obstacles that stood in the way of the construction of the differential analyzer, the preWorld War It forerunner of modern high-speed computing machinery. Wiener's close contact with this program and his joint work with Y. W. Lee on the design of electric circuits, led him to consider, most often in the abstract, the potentialities of the computers of the future and to search for criteria and concepts that would make it possible to separate message from adventitious noise. This was also the period during which Arturo Rosenblueth and Norbert Wiener examined closelyÑin a series of monthly discussion meetings how the scientific method was being applied in a variety of fields. During World War II Norbert Wiener worked on the design of fire control apparatus for anti-aircraft guns. In some sense this problem seemed to be tailor-made for him since it permitted him to pull together many of his previous interests: Wiener saw with great clarity the close relation between the statistical study of time series and the formulation of the basic task of communication engineering, namely the transmission of messages. For a message to be transmitted there must be a repertory or ensemble of possible messages and a way of assessing the probability of these messages. These topics when joined to the problems of filtering and prediction from existing time series comprise the substance of a book that Wiener wrote under the title of Extrapolation, interpolation and smoothing of stationary time series (with engineering applications). (During the war it was known by the more picturesque title of the "Yellow PerilsÑthe cover contributed the adjective.)

BehaveNet family psychotherapy cybernetics The term "cybernetic" [Greek kybernetes, pilot, steersman] was coined by the mathematician Norbert Wiener in 1948 to encompass "the entire field of control and communication theory , whether in the machine or in the animal" (p.11). Cybernetics is concerned with scientific investigation of systemic processes of a highly varied nature, including such phenomena as regulation, information processing, information storage, adaptation, self-organization , self-reproduction, and strategic behavior. Within the general cybernetic approach, the following theoretical fields have developed: systems theory (system), communication theory game theory , and decision theory.* American Society for Cybernetics Books and Other Media: Follow the hypertext link to purchase items online.
