Biography Childhood. The Shannon family lived in Gaylord, Michigan, and Claude was born in a hospital in nearby Petoskey. 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. ...
Jul 2, 2024 · Claude Shannon was an American mathematician and electrical engineer who laid the theoretical foundations for digital circuits and information theory, a mathematical communication model. After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1936 with bachelor’s degrees in mathematics and electrical
Oct 14, 2002 · With the fundamental new discipline of quantum information science now under construction, it's a good time to look back at an extraordinary scientist who single-handedly launched classical ...
Dec 22, 2020 · Next, Shannon set his sights on an even bigger target: communication. Communication is one of the most basic human needs. From smoke signals to carrier pigeons to the telephone to television, humans have always sought methods that would allow them to communicate farther, faster and more reliably.

Feb 27, 2001 · CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- MIT Professor Emeritus Claude E. Shannon, known as the father of modern digital communications and information theory, died Saturday, February 24 at the Courtyard Nursing Care Center in Medford, Mass., after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
The American mathematician and computer scientist who conceived and laid the foundations for information theory. His theories laid the groundwork for the electronic communications networks that now lace the earth.
One of the key scientific contributions of the 20th century, Claude Shannon's "A Mathematical Theory of Communication” created the field of information theory in 1948. In addition to the impact of information theory on communications technology, Shannon’s work has had tremendous impact on computer science and engineering, artificial intelligence and probability and statistics. This public ...
