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]
The Shannon–Weaver model is one of the first and most influential models of communication. It was initially published in the 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" and explains communication in terms of five basic components: a source, a transmitter, a channel, a receiver, and a destination. The source produces the original message.
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.
Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver categorize and address problems relevant to models of communication at three basic levels: technical, semantic, and effectiveness problems. They correspond to the issues of how to transmit the symbols in the message to the receiver, how these symbols carry meaning, and how to ensure that the message has the ...
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 ...
Development since 1948. The publication of Shannon's 1948 paper, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", in the Bell System Technical Journal was the founding of information theory as we know it today. Many developments and applications of the theory have taken place since then, which have made many modern devices for data communication and ...
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 ...
