Extractions: Version for printing Norbert Wiener 's father was Leo Wiener who was a Russian Jew. Because Leo Wiener was such a major influence on his son, we should give some background to his education and career. Leo Wiener attended medical school at the University of Warsaw but was unhappy with the profession, so he went to Berlin where he began training as an engineer. This profession seemed only a little more interesting to him than the medical profession, and he emigrated to the United States having first landed in England. We should note that throughout his education Leo was interested in mathematics and, although he never used his mathematical skills in any jobs he held, it was a deep amateur interest to him all through his life. Arriving in New Orleans in 1880, Leo tried his hand at various jobs in factories and farms before becoming a school teacher in Kansas City. He progressed from being a language teacher in schools to becoming Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Missouri. While there he met and married Bertha Kahn, who was the daughter of a department store owner. Bertha, from a German Jewish family, was [7]:- ... a small woman, healthy, vigorous and vivacious.

Extractions: "The fact that we cannot telegraph the pattern of a man from one place to another seems to be due to technical difficulties, and in particular, to the difficulty of keeping an organism in being during such a radical reconstruction." "We have thus established the basis in man for the simplest element in his communication: namely, the communication of man with man by the immediate use of language, when two men are face to face with one another... this capacity is not intrinsically restricted to the immediate presense of the individual, for we have many means to carry this tool of communication to the ends of the earth."

NORBERT WIENER (1894-1964)
In 1964, on March 18, norbert wiener died in Stockholm of a second heart attack, norbert wiener was also deeply attracted to mathematical physics.
http://www.isss.org/lumwiener.htm

Extractions: His first post of importance was that of Instructor of Mathematics at MIT in 1919, followed by that of Assistant Professor in 1929 and of Professor in 1931. He has always been faithful to MIT, "which has given me the encouragement to work and the freedom to think", an attitude in contrast to his opinion of Harvard. In 1933 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences (USA), from which he resigned in 1941. In l940 he started to collaborate in a research project at MIT on anti-aircraft devices, which played an important part in his reflections upon what was to become the science of Cybernetics. Norbert Wiener was also deeply attracted to mathematical physics. His interest originated in a collaboration with Max Born in 1926 on quantization and developed (1927,1928) in the direction of relativistic quantum theory and the use of a fifth dimension as proposed by Kaluza and Klein. Einstein's attempt to unify gravitation and electromagnetism also aroused his interest (1929). Later, Wiener returned to quantum mechanics with a theory of statistical hidden variables using his differential space and aiming at explaining the principles of quantum measurement. These researches were published, in collaboration with Armand Siegel, from 1953 to 1956and presented, along with other considerations, in a posthumous book (1966).

Extractions: Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help (b. Nov. 26, 1894, Columbia, Mo., U.S.d. March 18, 1964, Stockholm), U.S. mathematician, who established the science of cybernetics, which is concerned with the common factors of control and communication in living organisms, automatic machines, and organizations. He attained international renown by formulating some of the most important contributions to mathematics in the 20th century. On a grant from Harvard, Wiener went first to England, to study mathematical logic at Cambridge University under the philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Hilbert, one of the greatest and most versatile mathematicians of his time. On the advice of Bertrand Russell he also began a serious study of general mathematics, in which he was strongly influenced by Russell and the English mathematical theorist G.H. Hardy and, to a lesser extent, by Hilbert. He published his first paper in the mathematical journal Messenger of Mathematics in 1913 at Cambridge just as World War I broke out.

Extractions: Norbert Wiener, 1894-1964. Mathematician, born in Columbus, Mo. Professor at MIT, 1919-60. Books include Cybernetics The Human Use of Human Beings Ex-Prodigy I Am a Mathematician (1956), and from Webster's New Biographical Dictionary A bureaucracy and a factory are automated machines in Wiener's view. The whole world even the universe could be seen as one big feedback system subject to the relentless advance of entropy, which subverts the exchange of messages that is essential to continued existence (Wiener, 1954). This concept of interdependent communications systems, coupled with Wiener's assertion that a machine that changes its responses based on feedback is a machine that learns, indicates the distinction between media and cybermedia. Since Wiener's time, cybernetics as a discipline experienced a rapid rise (in the 1960s) and a swift decline, but it appears to be on the upswing again because of a broadened perspective. The original foundation of cybernetics was limited to the observation of the states of a system, with the drawback being that the states observed and defined were wholly dependent on an observer who was construed as impartial and having no effect on the observed system. "New" or "second order" cybernetics includes the observer as a participant in and part of the observed system; the focus has shifted from communication and control to interaction (Pask, 1992). Another interesting aspect of the new cybernetics is the application of elements of chaos theory to

Extractions: Tools for Thought by Howard Rheingold April, 2000: a revised edition of Tools for Thought is available from MIT Press , including a revised chapter with 1999 interviews of Doug Engelbart, Bob Taylor, Alan Kay, Brenda Laurel, and Avron Barr. The idea that people could use computers to amplify thought and communication, as tools for intellectual work and social activity, was not an invention of the mainstream computer industry or orthodox computer science, nor even homebrew computerists; their work was rooted in older, equally eccentric, equally visionary, work. You can't really guess where mind-amplifying technology is going unless you understand where it came from. - HLR

In mathematics, he laid the foundation of the study of stochastic processes (those dependent on random events), particularly Brownian motion. 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.
