Posted by RonInBayside on Wed Jun 15 11:48:09 2005, in response to Re: Communications, posted by Stephen Bauman on Wed Jun 15 11:39:22 2005. There were two really seminal, important papers that I know of. The first was the theory of communication that he worked out in the 1940s. NYU has a nice page on it:http://www.nyu.edu/pages/linguistics/courses/v610003/shan.html Itwas required reading for my Communication Theory course at UCLA, taught by Dr. Pat French. The second is summarized as follows: "Besides Shannon's theory of communication, he published a classic paper "A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Switching Circuits." This paper point out the identity between the two "truth values" of symbolic logic and the binary values 1 and 0 of electronic circuits. Shannon showed how a "logic machine" could be built using switching circuits corresponding to the propositions of Boolean algebra." |
