Norbert Wiener

Norbert Wiener (November 26, 1894 - March 18, 1964) was an American mathematician, known as the founder of cybernetics. He coined the term in his book Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (MIT Press, 1948), widely recognized as one of the most important books of contemporary scientific thinking. He is also considered to be the first American-born and American-trained mathematician on an intellectual par with anyone from the traditional bastions of mathematical learning in Europe. His period thus represents a watershed in American mathematics.
