	Norbert Wiener - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norbert Wiener was born in Columbia, Missouri, the first child of Leo Wiener, a Polish-Jewish immigrant, and Bertha Kahn, from a German-Jewish family.
		The Norbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics was endowed in 1967 in honor of Norbert Wiener by MIT's mathematics department and is provided jointly by the American Mathematical Society and Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
		The Norbert Wiener Award for Social and Professional Responsibility awarded annually by CPSR, was established in 1987 in honor of Norbert Wiener to recognize contributions by computer professionals to socially responsible use of computers.

	Norbert Wiener
		Norbert Wiener (November 26, 1894, Columbia, Missouri - March 18, 1964, Stockholm, Sweden) was a American mathematician, known as the founder of cybernetics.
		Norbert was educated at home until he was seven, he entered school only briefly before resuming the majority of his studies at home.
		Wiener received his Ph.D. from Harvard in 1912 for a dissertation on mathematical logic.

	Norbert Wiener and Cybernetics
		Norbert Wiener developed the field of cybernetics, inspiring a generation of scientists to think of computer technology as a means to extend human capabilities.
		Norbert Wiener was born on November 26, 1894, and received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Harvard University at the age of 18 for a thesis on mathematical logic.
		Wiener's vision of cybernetics had a powerful influence on later generations of scientists, and inspired research into the potential to extend human capabilities with interfaces to sophisticated electronics, such as the user interface studies conducted by the SAGE program.

		Early Life Norbert Wiener was born on the 26th November 1894, the firstborn son of Leo Wiener and Bertha Kahn.
		Norbert’s earlier reading meant that his pre-school education was uneven; meaning that while his education in some areas was advanced, in others he was sadly lacking.
		Wiener driven by his engineering colleagues at MIT worked to generalise his work on Brownian motion resulting in some fundamental and highly innovative work on what is now referred to as stochastic processes.

	Norbert Wiener article by Leon Tabak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Norbert Wiener passed through several of the institutions that figured most prominently in the history of twentieth century science: Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the universities at Cambridge and Göttingen, and the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground.
		Norbert Wienerís own father had come to the United States as an immigrant from Russian and begun life in this country as a laborer, then risen to establish himself as a professor of languages at Harvard University without ever earning a college degree.
		Wiener understood the advantages of encoding information in digital rather than analog form, computing with binary rather than decimal arithmetic, and equipping the computer with a means to store discrete, replaceable data and instructions.

	Wiener, Norbert
		Wiener, a child prodigy who could read and write at the age of three, was the son of Leo and Bertha Wiener.
		On a grant from Harvard, Wiener went first to England, to study mathematical logic at Cambridge University under the philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell, and then to the University of Göttingen in Germany to study with David Hilbert, one of the greatest and most versatile mathematicians of his time.
		Wiener worked at cybernetics, philosophized about it, and propagandized for it the rest of his life, all the while keeping up his research in other areas of mathematics.

		The Norbert Wiener Award was established in 1987 by CPSR in memory of the originator of the field of cybernetics, Norbert Wiener (1894-1964), whose pioneering work was one of the pillars on which modern computing technology was created.
		Wiener was among the first to examine the social and political consequences of computing technology.
		The Norbert Wiener Award for Professional and Social Responsibility will be presented to Douglas Engelbart in Palo Alto, CA on Saturday, October 29, 2005 from 5:30-7:00 p.m, after the Annual CPSR Members Meeting.

	Department of Mathematics - Norbert Wiener
		Norbert Wiener was born in Columbia, Missouri, November 26, 1894.
		Wiener was a man of many moods, and these were reflected in his lectures, which ranged from among the worst to the very best I have ever heard.
		Wiener was among those scientists who recognized the full implications of the scientist's unique role in modern society and his responsibilities to it in the age of electronic computers and nuclear weapons.

	Berkeley Lab Mathematician James Sethian Receives Prestigious Norbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics
		The level set method developed by James Sethian represents a front propagating in n dimensions as a level set of an object in (n + 1) dimensions, allowing curvatures and normals to be easily evaluated and topological changes to occur in a natural manner.
		The prize, which was presented on January 8 at the joint AMS-SIAM meeting in Phoenix, is awarded "for an outstanding contribution to applied mathematics in the highest and broadest sense." Sethian's award marks the eighth time the Norbert Wiener Prize has been awarded since 1970.
		The prize was last awarded in 2000, when one of the two recipients was Alexandre Chorin, a colleague of Sethian's who also has a joint appointment in Berkeley Lab's Mathematics Group and UC Berkeley's Math Department.
