Wiener, Norbert (mathematician)

Norbert Wiener was an American mathematician renowned for founding cybernetics, the study of systems, control, and communication in animals and machines. His work laid the groundwork for understanding how systems self-regulate and adapt, influencing fields like engineering, computer science, and biology. Wiener developed mathematical models to analyze signals and noise, pioneering techniques used in modern digital communications and control systems. His insights helped shape technologies such as early computers, robotics, and signal processing, making him a key figure in bridging theoretical mathematics with practical technological advances.
