Brossura. Condizione: ottimo. Brossura illustrata, formato cm 13,0 x 19,5, pag 229. Con introduzione all'argomento di Francesco Ciafaloni. Traduzione di D. Persiani. Volume in buonissime condizioni. Wierer era un matematico. Ebbe come maestri B. Russell a Cambridge (Inghilterra) e D. Hilbert a Gottinga; prof. (dal 1932) al Massachusetts institute of Technology. Sono stati oggetto delle sue ricerche il calcolo delle probabilità, i fondamenti della matematica, ed elevate questioni di analisi e loro applicazioni. In particolare, dai suoi lavori sulla statistica egli sviluppò, insieme con il suo allievo C. Shannon, la moderna teoria dell'informazione; questa, a sua volta, è in stretti rapporti con una nuova disciplina, da W. stesso chiamata cibernetica (1957), della quale è da considerare il fondatore, insieme con il biologo inglese W. Ross Ashby (ma indipendentemente da questo).…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "What does differentiate man from other animals in a way which leaves us not the slightest degree of doubt, is that he is a talking animal. The impulse to communicate with his fellow beings is so strong that not even the double deprivation of blindness and deafness can completely obliterate it" WIENER, Norbert (1894-1964), ZORN, Max August (1906-1993)[Ex-Libris]. Cybernetics, Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine. New York & Paris: The Technology Press [John Wiley & Sons, Inc; Hermann et CIE] 1948. 1st US Edition. 8vo, 194pp. Original red cloth boards with black decoration and white lettering on the boards and spine. Missing original dust jacket. Near Fine. This copy is in excellent condition, the only blemish to the boards being small knocks on the corners and at the base of the spine. Internally the book is completely clean and the textblock is tight and square. This copy is signed by German mathematician Max August Zorn and is from his library. An expert in alternative algebras, Zorn was appointed to a position at the University of Halle is 1933 but never took up the place - he fled to the US to escape the rise of Nazism, Zorn was a communist and found employment at Yale following his immigration to the US. In 1946 Zorn took a position at Indiana University, where he taught until his retirement in 1971. A truly legendary book from the academic who pioneered the field of cybernetics and whose work on AI safety is still being consulted in this developing field to this day. Norbert Wiener was a mathematical and academic child prodigy, being admitted to Harvard aged just 14 to study Zoology. After graduating at 17 he travelled and studied across the world under many great academics including Bertrand Russell at Cambridge, before returning to the US and working on the mathematical theories of noise in electrical systems that would birth the field of cybernetics.…

'Norbert Wiener was proving important results in areas of interest to Paley so he applied for a Rockefeller International Research Fellowship to allow him to travel to the United States to collaborate with him at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Norbert Wiener wrote in [2]: 'Soon after his arrival in America, however, certain studies of lacunary series which Paley had already begun suggested a new attack on the theory of interpolation and allied trigonometrical problems. These results led successively to the study of quasi-analytic functions, of entire functions of order one-half, and of many related questions.' For a young man of 26, Paley had collaborated with a remarkable group of mathematicians. In addition to Littlewood, Zygmund and Norbert Wiener, he had also collaborated with Pólya. As Norbert Wiener wrote in [2]: 'Possessed of an extraordinary capacity for making friends and for scientific collaboration, Paley believed that the inspiration of continual interchange of ideas stimulates each collaborator to accomplish more than he would alone.' Already with a reputation remarkable for one so young, Paley stood on the brink of becoming one of the very first rank of research mathematicians. However, in 1933 while working in the United States, he went to Canada for a skiing holiday. While skiing near Banff he was killed by avalanche [1]: '. . . at Deception Pass, Fossil Mountain in the Rockies. Park wardens and a member of the Canadian Mountain police recovered the body, which has been brought to Banff. Mr Paley was skiing alone at an altitude of 9,600 ft, but his death was witnessed by companions lower down the mountainside.' Had he lived to continue his mathematical work, one feels sure that his name would today be as well known as the mathematicians with whom he collaborated. Norbert Wiener gave the Colloquium Lectures of the American Mathematical Society in 1934 and spoke on Paley's work. Paley was to have been a Colloquium Lecturer himself. Norbert Wiener wrote in [2]: '. . . he was already recognised as the ablest of the group of young English mathematicians who have been inspired by the genius of G H Hardy and J E Littlewood. In a group notable for its brilliant technique, no one had developed this technique to a higher degree than Paley. Nevertheless he should not be though of primarily as a technician, for with this ability he combined creative power of the first order. As he himself was wont to say, technique without 'rugger tactics' will not get one far, and these rugger tactics he practised to a degree that was characteristic of his forthright and vigorous nature' ' ( J J O'Connor and E F Robertson, Paley entry at MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site; sources are N Wiener, 'R E A C Paley - in memoriam', Bull.

'In his 1929 work on circuit analysis, Bush showed how to make the tools, originally fabricated by a remarkable and singular Englishman Oliver Heaviside, accessible to the undergraduate study of electrical engineering. In this he was aided by Norbert Wiener, who wrote an elegant appendix [pp. 366-379] to the book entitled 'Fourier Analysis and Asymptotic Series.' In this Wiener laid the mathematical groundwork for Bush's applications' (Goldstine, The Computer from Pascal to von Neumann, p. 87). D. S. B. 17: 134-9. Origins of Cyberspace 242.…
