Brossura. Condición: ottimo. Brossura illustrata, formato cm 13,0 x 19,5, pag 229. Con introduzione all argomento di Francesco Ciafaloni. Traduzione di D. Persiani. Volume in buonissime condizioni. Wierer era un matematico. Ebbe come maestri B. Russell a Cambridge (Inghilterra) e D. Hilbert a Gottinga; prof. (dal 1932) al Massachusetts institute of Technology. Sono stati oggetto delle sue ricerche il calcolo delle probabilità, i fondamenti della matematica, ed elevate questioni di analisi e loro applicazioni. In particolare, dai suoi lavori sulla statistica egli sviluppò, insieme con il suo allievo C. Shannon, la moderna teoria dell'informazione; questa, a sua volta, è in stretti rapporti con una nuova disciplina, da W. stesso chiamata cibernetica (1957), della quale è da considerare il fondatore, insieme con il biologo inglese W. Ross Ashby (ma indipendentemente da questo).

'Norbert Wiener was proving important results in areas of interest to Paley so he applied for a Rockefeller International Research Fellowship to allow him to travel to the United States to collaborate with him at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Norbert Wiener wrote in [2]: 'Soon after his arrival in America, however, certain studies of lacunary series which Paley had already begun suggested a new attack on the theory of interpolation and allied trigonometrical problems. These results led successively to the study of quasi-analytic functions, of entire functions of order one-half, and of many related questions.' For a young man of 26, Paley had collaborated with a remarkable group of mathematicians. In addition to Littlewood, Zygmund and Norbert Wiener, he had also collaborated with Pólya. As Norbert Wiener wrote in [2]: 'Possessed of an extraordinary capacity for making friends and for scientific collaboration, Paley believed that the inspiration of continual interchange of ideas stimulates each collaborator to accomplish more than he would alone.' Already with a reputation remarkable for one so young, Paley stood on the brink of becoming one of the very first rank of research mathematicians. However, in 1933 while working in the United States, he went to Canada for a skiing holiday. While skiing near Banff he was killed by avalanche [1]: '. . . at Deception Pass, Fossil Mountain in the Rockies. Park wardens and a member of the Canadian Mountain police recovered the body, which has been brought to Banff. Mr Paley was skiing alone at an altitude of 9,600 ft, but his death was witnessed by companions lower down the mountainside.' Had he lived to continue his mathematical work, one feels sure that his name would today be as well known as the mathematicians with whom he collaborated. Norbert Wiener gave the Colloquium Lectures of the American Mathematical Society in 1934 and spoke on Paley's work. Paley was to have been a Colloquium Lecturer himself. Norbert Wiener wrote in [2]: '. . . he was already recognised as the ablest of the group of young English mathematicians who have been inspired by the genius of G H Hardy and J E Littlewood. In a group notable for its brilliant technique, no one had developed this technique to a higher degree than Paley. Nevertheless he should not be though of primarily as a technician, for with this ability he combined creative power of the first order. As he himself was wont to say, technique without 'rugger tactics' will not get one far, and these rugger tactics he practised to a degree that was characteristic of his forthright and vigorous nature' ' ( J J O'Connor and E F Robertson, Paley entry at MacTutor History of Mathematics Web site; sources are N Wiener, 'R E A C Paley - in memoriam', Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 39 (7) (1933), 476, and an obituary, The Times). American Mathematical Society Colloquium Publications Volume XIX [19] [Nineteen].

Top of spine slightly worn. Else Very Good. '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.

Rebound in more modern (1970s/1980s?) inelegant but functional and sturdy light blue buckram cloth (replacing the original red cloth boards) with gilt stamping to spine; gold foil bindery ticket for Denver Bookbinding Co. on rear pastedown; new pastedowns and endpapers with first original leaf being the title. Past owner's name/address stamp at front pastedown top left and again at front free endpaper recto top right; some brown staining (coffee splatter?) to pages 114-115 and 124-125 with a few other scattered spots; red pencil marks on pages 20-21; margin marks and underlining in regular pencil on pages 11, 19, 22, 23, 25-26, 126, 127, 133, 171, 173, 177-180, 185, 187-188, and 194 with other occurrences likely to be found upon a more careful perusal. Binding remains quite firm. Classic text regarding cybernetics by the founder of the field, Norbert Wiener, an American pure and applied mathematician who graduated at the age of 14 from Tufts College and earned his Ph.D. from Harvard by the age of 18. Weiner joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Mathematics Department in 1919 and taught there until his death in 1964. This American edition was preceded by a Paris imprint (albeit in English as well) of Hermann & Cie issued in the same year. The book's most recent edition (MIT Press, 2019) credits this original issue as "laying the theoretical foundations of information theory and influencing the development of error-correcting servomechanisms, autonomous navigation, analog computing, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience."
