Shannon, Claude (b. 1916, Gaylord, MI. Ph.D. Mathematics, MIT, 1940). In 1948, Shannon published his best known work, a paper (Bell Syst. Tech. J., 27, 379-423, 623-56) showing how information could be measured. Shannon joined the staff of Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1941 to work on the problem of how to transmit information most efficiently. In 1948, Shannon published a paper (Bell Syst. Tech. J., 27, 379-423, 623-56) showing how information could be measured. A full-fledged work, The Mathematical Theory of Communication (with W. Weaver, 1949), was the beginning of information theory. From 1958 to 1980, Shannon taught electrical engineering at MIT. His research has been on Boolean algebra and switching circuits, communications theory, computers, and cryptography.

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. Names like Einstein, Heisenberg, or even

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

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.

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.

Shannon, Claude amerikansk matematiker (1916-2001). Shannon grundlade 1948 informationsteorin med sin skrift A Mathematical Theory of Communication . I den skriften lade han den matematiska grunden för förståelsen av tele-, radio- och datakommunikation. Han besvarade frågan om vad som krävs för att man ska kunna sända ett meddelande från avsändare till mottagare utan att förlora information och hur mycket information som kan sändas per tidsenhet. Man kan också säga att han matematiskt beskrev hur man skiljer signalen från bruset. 1949 tillämpade han samma principer på kryptering i "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems". Claude Shannon blev doktor i matematik vid [ MIT 1941 och anställdes 1941 vid Bell Labs , där han stannade till 1972. Han blev professor vid [ MIT 1956 och blev emeritus 1978.

Lancelot Pecquet. PASSING OF A LEGEND Claude Shannon, a mathematician who wrote the blueprint for digital communications in 1948 at Bell Labs, died Saturday in a Massachusetts nursing home. He was 84. In a classic scientific paper, "The Mathematical Theory of Communication," Shannon laid the groundwork for wireless phones, high-speed data lines and the World Wide Web decades before technology was up to speed. What Shannon outlined in 1948 was a series of mathematical formulas to reduce communications processes to binary code "bits" of information. He devised ways to calculate the maximum bits that could be blasted through a phone line, or any other communications channel. Born in Petoskey, Mich., on April 16, 1916, Shannon earned advanced degrees at MIT and in 1941 joined Bell Labs, with which he was affiliated through 1972.

Claude E. Shannon was a University of Michigan graduate BSE EE '36, BSE Math '36. His legendary 1948 paper, "The Mathematical Theory of Communication" unveiled the vast potential for digital communications and inspired virtually all of the work in digital communications that followed. He is also famous for his work on cryptography, the sampling theorem, and the discovery of the relevance of Boolean algebra to logic circuit design. He is considered to be one of the people most responsible for ushering in the digital age. To learn more about Shannon and his work, consider these

FOUNDATIONS IN SCIENCE The mathematical theory of communication. Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press. Pierce ). One final note, the editor of this book was Wilbur Schramm, the head of the first Institute of Communication Research at the University of Illinois. This book heavily influenced Schramm, as seen later in this essay (see Schramm von Bertalanffy, Ludwig (1988). General system theory: Foundations, development, applications. Most notable is the theory of an organism as open system (published originally in 1940). This notion of open system "pried the lid off" of previous closed systems thinking and necessitated the incorporation of environment and culture in our scientific endeavors. Rapoport, Anatol. Fights, games, and debate s (1960). Ann Arbor, MI: The University of Michigan Press. Rapoport was one of the foremost game theoreticians. He looked for "different kinds of intellectual tools for the analysis of conflict situations (p. 12)." His last two chapters entitled, the "case for individualism" and the "case for collectivism" precede Hofstede's similar concept used today in intercultural communication. Rapoport claims it is the tension between cooperation and competition that provides conflict situations. In a recent (1985) book by Axelrod, Rapoport won a computer-simulated prisoner's dilemma contest by submitting a tit-for-tat solution (i.e., cooperation). Axelrod theorized that cooperation is the best strategy in solving prisoner dilemma-type conflicts. Rapoport helped us think twice about games and how they can serve as practical aids in the study of communication.
