Claude Elwood Shannon (April 30, 1916 – February 24, 2001) was an American mathematician, electrical engineer, computer scientist and cryptographer known as the "father of information theory" and as the "father of the Information Age".
Claude Shannon (born April 30, 1916, Petoskey, Michigan, U.S.—died February 24, 2001, Medford, Massachusetts) was an American mathematician and electrical engineer who laid the theoretical foundations for digital circuits and information theory, a mathematical communication model.
Oct 14, 2002 · Claude E. Shannon: Founder of Information Theory. With the fundamental new discipline of quantum information science now under construction, it's a good time to look back at an...
Dec 22, 2020 · Shannon invented new mathematics to describe the laws of communication. He introduced new ideas, like the entropy rate of a probabilistic model, which have been applied in far-ranging branches of mathematics such as ergodic theory, the study of long-term behavior of dynamical systems.
