Norbert Wiener
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Wiener was an American mathematician and educator who made significant contributions to a number of areas of mathematics, including harmonic analysis and Fourier transforms, but he is best known for his theory of cybernetics, the comparative study of control and communication in humans and machines. While serving as a professor of mathematics at MIT, Wiener developed a reputation for being extraordinarily absent-minded. What are some of the stories about him that support this characterization?
