'In his 1929 work on circuit analysis, Bush showed how to make the tools, originally fabricated by a remarkable and singular Englishman Oliver Heaviside, accessible to the undergraduate study of electrical engineering. In this he was aided by Norbert Wiener, who wrote an elegant appendix [pp. 366-379] to the book entitled 'Fourier Analysis and Asymptotic Series.' In this Wiener laid the mathematical groundwork for Bush's applications' (Goldstine, The Computer from Pascal to von Neumann, p. 87). D. S. B. 17: 134-9. Origins of Cyberspace 242.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION. x, 184 pp. Original wrappers. Very Good. Offered with: 1980 National Science Foundation reissue. 'Science, the Endless Frontier is recognized as the landmark argument for the essential role of science in society and government's responsibility to support scientific endeavors. First issued when Vannevar Bush was the director of the US Office of Scientific Research and Development during the Second World War, this classic remains vital in making the case that scientific progress is necessary to a nation's health, security, and prosperity. Bush's vision set the course for US science policy for more than half a century, building the world's most productive scientific enterprise. Today, amid a changing funding landscape and challenges to science's very credibility, Science, the Endless Frontier resonates as a powerful reminder that scientific progress and public well-being alike depend on the successful symbiosis between science and government' (Web site of Princeton University Press, which reprinted the book in 2021 with a companion essay by scientist and former U.S. congressman Rush D. Holt).
