The Shannon family lived in Gaylord, Michigan, and Claude was born in a hospital in nearby Petoskey. [4] His father, Claude Sr. (1862–1934), was a businessman and, for a while, a judge of probate in Gaylord. His mother, Mabel Wolf Shannon (1880–1945), was a language teacher, who also served as the principal of Gaylord High School. [36]
United States. " A Mathematical Theory of Communication " is an article by mathematician Claude E. Shannon published in Bell System Technical Journal in 1948. [1][2][3][4] It was renamed The Mathematical Theory of Communication in the 1949 book of the same name, [5] a small but significant title change after realizing the generality of this work.
Publication place. United States. "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits" is the title of a master's thesis written by computer science pioneer Claude E. Shannon while attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1937, published in 1938. In his thesis, Shannon, a dual degree graduate of the University of Michigan ...
The Shannon–Weaver model is one of the earliest and most influential models of communication. [2][3][4] It was initially published by Claude Shannon in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". [5] The model was further developed together with Warren Weaver in their co-authored 1949 book The Mathematical Theory of Communication ...
Information theory. Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was established and put on a firm footing by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, [1] though early contributions were made in the 1920s through the works of Harry Nyquist and Ralph Hartley.
United States. "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems" is a paper published in 1949 by Claude Shannon discussing cryptography from the viewpoint of information theory. [1] It is one of the foundational treatments (arguably the foundational treatment) of modern cryptography. [2] His work has been described as a "turning point, and marked the ...
A Mind at Play: How Claude Shannon Invented the Information Age is a biography of Claude Shannon, an American mathematician, electrical engineer, and cryptographer known as "the father of information theory ". [1][2] The biography was written by Jimmy Soni and Rob Goodman, and published by Simon & Schuster in 2017. [3][4] A Mind at Play is the ...
The concept of information entropy was introduced by Claude Shannon in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", [2] [3] and is also referred to as Shannon entropy. Shannon's theory defines a data communication system composed of three elements: a source of data, a communication channel, and a receiver. The "fundamental problem ...
