Cybernetics

Norbert Wiener (November 26, 1894 – March 18, 1964) was an American mathematician and philosopher. He was Professor of Mathematics at MIT.A famous child prodigy, Wiener later became an early researcher in stochastic and noise processes, contributing work relevant to electronic engineering, electronic communication, and control systems.Wiener is considered the originator of cybernetics, a formalization of the notion of feedback, with implications for engineering, systems control, computer science, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the organization of society.

2013 Reprint of 1961 Second Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Acclaimed one of the "seminal books... comparable in ultimate importance to... Galileo or Malthus or Rousseau or Mill", "Cybernetics" was judged by twenty-seven historians, economists, educators, and philosophers to be one of those books published during the "past four decades," which may have a substantial impact on public thought and action in the years ahead." -- Saturday Review. Cybernetics was defined in the mid 20th century by Norbert Wiener as "the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine." Fields of study which have influenced or been influenced by cybernetics include game theory, system theory (a mathematical counterpart to cybernetics), perceptual control theory, sociology, psychology (especially neuropsychology, behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology), philosophy, architecture, and organizational theory.

读后感

作为一个学过一点半吊子物理，写过一点半吊子代码的，勉强还能看懂一些，然后才知道之前看不到数学、物理的用途是因为自己本来就没学会什么。有各种数学物理概念来解释信号、系统等等各种问题。 特别是关于时间序列、信息那章，更好地理解了信息熵，不再是书上比较简单的一个公...  

人工智能应该是人类突破自身极限的一个方向，我想若是能在这方面人类取得突破性进展，那么我们似乎会离‘共产主义’更进一步，这是我们能想到的极大的发展生产力的方法！嗯，当然，离不开基础科学的理论成果。
