First inversion is when the third of the chord is in the bass, with the fifth of the chord next above, and the root highest.

 Tonality
The first inversion would be E-G-C, and the second inversion would be G-C-E. Since inverted chords are also chords in their own right, in context a chord is sometimes thought to be inverted only when voice leading implies it.
The traditional form of tonal music begins and ends on the tonic of the piece, and many tonal works move to a closely related key, such as the dominant of the main tonality (for example sonata form).
In tonal music chords which are moved to different keys, or played with different root notes are not perceived as being the same, and thus transpositional equivalency and far less still inversional equivalency are not generally held to apply.

 Giraldus Cambrensis
During the first millenium of the Christian era, western Europe knew nothing of harmony as we connote this term.
Against this there is the earlier evidence of the 12th century Cornish manuscript in the Bodleian Library, whilst reference to the so-called Anonymous IV manuscript (c.1273-80), where the use of thirds is said to be used mostly in the "[Celtic] west of England," seems to strengthen the British claim.
While the first paragraph describes the general agreeableness of Irish performance, the second seems to describe the playing of florid elaborations in impeccable rhythm, proportion and clarity.

From 1948, in his first edition of Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, Norbert Wiener already rebelled against the vain hopes held by some of his friends who thought they could derive some sort of social efficacy from the theses of his work.
According to Wiener, their reasoning was based on the observation of a growing differential between human control of material and social environments: where natural science allowed the former, social science ought to allow the latter.
