Return to Customer Support Center Claude Shannon Claude Elwood Shannon, an mathematician born in Gaylord, Michigan (U.S.) in 1916, is credited with two important contributions to information technology: the application of Boolean theory to electronic switching, thus laying the groundwork for the digital computer, and developing the new field called information theory . It is difficult to overstate the impact which Claude Shannon has had on the 20th century and the way we live and work in it, yet he remains practically unknown to the general public. Shannon spent the bulk of his career, a span of over 30 years from 1941 to 1972, at Bell Labs where he worked as a mathematician dedicated to research. While a graduate student at MIT in the late 1930s, Shannon worked for Vannevar Bush who was at that time building a mechanical computer, the Differential Analyser. Shannon had the insight to apply the two-valued Boolean logic to electrical circuits (which could be in either of two states - on or off). This syncretism of two hitherto distinct fields earned Shannon his MS in 1937 and his doctorate in 1940. Not content with laying the logical foundations of both the modern telephone switch and the digital computer, Shannon went on to invent the discipline of information theory and revolutionize the field of communications. He developed the concept of entropy in communication systems, the idea that information is based on uncertainty. This concept says that the more uncertainty in a communication channel, the more information that can be transmitted and vice versa. Shannon used mathematics to define the capacity of any communications channel and optimize the signal-to-noise ratio. He envisioned the possibility of error-free communications for telecommunications, the Internet, and satellite systems.

Extractions: Introduction Humble beginnings Education Theoretical contributions Information source Transmitter Signal + Received signal Receiver Destination (message sent) (message received) Furthermore, Shannon developed an explanatory concept of balancing entropy and redundancy to achieve efficiency in the communication process. This would be the other half of his climactic achievements. The concept of entropy, as noise in a channel, and its effect on communications aided the understanding of and the progress towards improving information transmission. Basically, the increase in noise causes a greater need for redundancy, which reduces the relative entropy of the message. However, redundancy in turn reduces the amount of information that can be transmitted in a given time. The idea, then, is to somehow balance the two antagonizing elements to achieve utmost efficiency from the total system. Here is my non-scientific analogy: Compare the communication system mentioned above to the classroom setting, perhaps J363 at the University. The more conversational dialogue (

Extractions: Claude Shannon, a lone-wolf genius, is still known to his neighbors in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for his skill at riding a motorcycle. In 1937, as a twenty-one-year-old graduate student, he showed that Boole 's logical algebra was the perfect tool for analyzing the complex networks of switching circuits used in telephone systems and, later, in computers. During the war and afterward, Shannon established the mathematical foundation of information theory. Together with cybernetics, this collection of theorems about information and communication created a new way to understand people and machinesand established information as a cosmic fundamental, along with energy and matter. immediate impact. Vacuum tube circuits simply could not calculate the complex codes needed to approach the Shannon limit. Not until early 1970's, with the advent of high speed integrated circuits did engineers begin to fully exploit information theory. Today Shannon's insights have shaped virtually all systems that store, process or transmit information in digital form. Obviously this information applies to the above applications but science and computer technology is returning to the much older concept of connectionism. "Does not the fiction of an isolated object imply a kind of absurdity , since this object borrows its physical properties from the relations which it maintains with all others and owes each of its determinations, and consequently its very existence, to the place which it occupies in the universe as a whole".

Extractions: March 2001 Mathematician Claude Shannon died on Saturday February 22, aged 84, after a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease. But his intellectual legacy will live on as long as people communicate using phone and fax, log on to the Internet, or simply talk about "information" as a commodity that can be measured in "bits" and shipped from place to place. The approach to information and communication Shannon laid out in his groundbreaking paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," published in the Bell System Technical Journal in 1948, and republished virtually unchanged in the pamphlet The Mathematical Theory of Communication he wrote with Warren Weaver the following year (published by the University of Illinois Press) remain current to this day. (Note how the "a" of his paper became "the" in the Shannon-Weaver version.) Shannon was born in Michigan in 1916. After obtaining degrees in both mathematics and engineering at the University of Michigan, he went to MIT to pursue graduate studies in mathematics. There he came into contact with some of the men who were laying much of the groundwork for the information revolution that would take off after the Second World War, notably the mathematician Norbert Wiener (who later coined the term cybernetics for some of the work in information theory that he, Shannon, and others did at MIT and elsewhere) and Vannevar Bush, the dean of engineering at MIT (whose conceptual "Memex" machine foretold the modern World Wide Web and whose subsequent achievements included the establishment of the National Science Foundation).

References I. Introduction and Background Claude E. Shannon In his 1948 paper, `` A Mathematical Theory of Communication ,'' Claude E. Shannon formulated the theory of data compression. Shannon established that there is a fundamental limit to lossless data compression. This limit, called the entropy rate , is denoted by H . The exact value of H depends on the information source - more specifically, the statistical nature of the source. It is possible to compress the source, in a lossless manner, with compression rate close to H . It is mathematically impossible to do better than H Shannon also developed the theory of lossy data compression. This is better known as rate-distortion theory . In lossy data compression, the decompressed data does not have to be exactly the same as the original data. Instead, some amount of

Extractions: April 30, 1916 - February 24, 2001 Claude Elwood Shannon was born in Petoskey, Michigan, on April 30, 1916. He graduated with a B.S. in mathematics and electrical engineering from the University of Michigan in 1936. Shannon earned both a master's degree and a doctorate in 1940 as a student of Vannevar Bush at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At that time Vannevar Bush was vice president of M.I.T. and dean of the engineering school, and actively conducting research on his invention the differential analyzer, the first reliable analog computer that solved differential equations. Shannon's electrical engineering master's thesis "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits" has been described as one of the most important master's theses ever written. In it Shannon applied George Boole's binary (true-false) logic algebra found in Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica to the problem of electronic (on-off) switching circuits. At the time, Boolean arithmetic was little known or used outside the field of mathematical logic. Because of Shannon's work, Boolean arithmetic is the basis for the design and operation of every computer in the world. For his Ph.D. dissertation in mathematics, Shannon applied mathematics to genetics. This work was influenced by Norbert Wiener, one of his coworkers with Vannevar Bush at MIT. Wiener studied how the nervous system and machines perform the functions of communication and control, and as acknowledged by Shannon, Wiener made some early contributions to the field of information theory.

Then slide it into the slot on the playerand listen as the music comes out just as crystal clear as the day you first opened the plastic case. Before moving on with the rest of your day, give a moment of thought to the man whose revolutionary ideas made this miracle possible: Claude Elwood Shannon. Shannon, who died in February after a long illness, was one of the greatest of the giants who created the information age. John von Neumann, Alan Turing and many other visionaries gave us computers that could process information. But it was Claude Shannon who gave us the modern concept of informationan intellectual leap that earns him a place on whatever high-tech equivalent of Mount Rushmore is one day established. The entire science of information theory grew out of one electrifying paper that Shannon published in 1948, when he was a 32-year-old researcher at Bell Laboratories. Shannon showed how the once-vague notion of information could be defined and quantified with absolute precision. He demonstrated the essential unity of all information media, pointing out that text, telephone signals, radio waves, pictures, film and every other mode of communication could be encoded in the universal language of binary digits, or bitsa term that his article was the first to use in print. Shannon laid forth the idea that once information became digital, it could be transmitted without error. This was a breathtaking conceptual leap that led directly to such familiar and robust objects as CDs. Shannon had written "a blueprint for the digital age," says MIT information theorist Robert Gallager, who is still awed by the 1948 paper.

Extractions: Claude Shannon died last week at a nursing home in Massachusetts. At 84, his mind once so great was clouded by Alzheimer's Disease, so in a sense I suppose it was only Shannon's body that died, but that, too, is a passage. For those who don't know about Shannon, he was the father of information theory, which in its simplest form means he made possible the leap from telephones and telegraphs to computers. In 1938, when he was a graduate student at MIT, Shannon came up with the idea of messages having information value, and that value could be encoded in a binary signal and sent down the wire. This was for his master's thesis. Where Morse encoded the alphabet and Bell replicated at a distance electrical wave forms, Shannon proposed taking just the raw information that could represent sound or video or the Declaration of Independence as either a text document or a historic artifact. His was a giant advancement in communication. I knew Claude Shannon, not well, but I knew him. We met a few times because I have made a point of trying to meet my heroes whenever possible. Our only substantive conversation that I can recall was about juggling, a hobby he did well and I can't do at all. But if Shannon wanted to talk about juggling, heck, we'd talk about juggling. (It's no accident that many computer folk like juggling. It's in their genes.)
