Norbert Wiener

Norbert Wiener was an American mathematician and philosopher, best known as the founder of cybernetics, a field that studies the control and communication in living organisms and machines. His work laid the groundwork for understanding how feedback systems operate, which is crucial in fields like robotics, computer science, and engineering. Wiener explored the mathematical principles behind how information is processed and conveyed, helping bridge the gap between mathematics, biology, and technology. His ideas have had a lasting impact on how we think about systems, automation, and the interplay between humans and machines.
