Excerpt: Marian Adam Rejewski ( (help·info); 16 August 1905 13 February 1980) was a Polish mathematician and cryptologist who in 1932 solved the plugboard-equipped Enigma machine, the main cipher device used by Germany. The success of Rejewski and his colleagues Jerzy Róycki and Henryk Zygalski jump-started British reading of Enigma in World War II; the intelligence so gained, code-named "Ultra", contributed, perhaps decisively, to the defeat of Nazi Germany. While studying mathematics at Pozna University, Rejewski had attended a secret cryptology course conducted by the Polish General Staff's Biuro Szyfrów (Cipher Bureau), which he joined full-time in 1932. The Bureau had achieved little success reading Enigma and in late 1932 set Rejewski to work on the problem. After only a few weeks, he deduced the secret internal wiring of the Enigma. Rejewski and his two mathematician colleagues then developed an assortment of techniques for the regular decryption of Enigma messages. Rejewski's contributions included devising the cryptologic "card catalog," derived using his "cyclo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=4349420 ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Solomon W. Golomb, Claude Shannon, Jacob Ziv, James Massey, Robert Fano, Robert Mceliece, Irving S. Reed. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Claude Elwood Shannon (30 avril 1916 à Petoskey, Michigan - 24 février 2001 à Medford, Massachusetts) est un ingénieur électricien et mathématicien américain. Il est l'un des pères, si ce n'est le père fondateur, de la théorie de l'information. Son nom est attaché à un célèbre « schéma de Shannon » très utilisé en sciences humaines, qu'il a constamment désavoué. Il étudie le génie électrique et les mathématiques à l'Université du Michigan en 1932. Il utilise notamment l'algèbre booléenne pour sa maîtrise soutenue en 1938 au Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Il y explique comment construire des machines à relais en utilisant l'algèbre de Boole pour décrire l'état des relais (1 : fermé, 0 : ouvert). Shannon travaille vingt ans au MIT, de 1958 à 1978. Parallèlement à ses activités académiques, il travaille aussi aux laboratoires Bell de 1941 à 1972. Claude Shannon est connu non seulement pour ses travaux dans les télécommunications, mais aussi pour l'étendue et l'originalité de ses hobbies, comme la jonglerie, la pratique du monocycle et l'invention de machines farfelues : une souris mécanique sachant trouver son chemin dans un labyrinthe, un robot jongleur, un joueur d'échecs (roi tour contre roi), etc. L'un de ces "gadgets" présente toutefois un grand intérêt conceptuel, comme le montrent Philippe Boulanger et Alain Cohen dans Le Trésor des paradoxes (Éditions Belin, 2007) : "Claude Shannon voulut élaborer une « machine gratuite », sans finalité : on la met en marche en appuyant, comme sur tout dispositif électromécanique, sur une touche « on » ; mai...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Excerpt: Herbert Marshall McLuhan, CC (July 21, 1911 December 31, 1980) was a Canadian educator, philosopher, and scholara professor of English literature, a literary critic, a rhetorician, and a communication theorist. McLuhan's work is viewed as one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory. McLuhan is known for the expressions "the medium is the message" and "global village". McLuhan was a fixture in media discourse from the late 1960s to his death and he continues to be an influential and controversial figure. More than ten years after his death he was named the "patron saint" of Wired magazine. McLuhan was born in Edmonton, Alberta, to Methodist parents Elsie Naomi (née Hall) and Herbert Ernest McLuhan. His brother, Maurice, was born two years later. "Marshall" was a family name: his maternal grandmother's surname. Both of his parents were born in Canada. His mother was a Baptist schoolteacher who later became an actress. His father had a real estate business in Edmonton. When war b...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19548 ... Read more

Auszug: Donald Ervin Knuth (pronounced ) (born January 10, 1938) is a renowned computer scientist and Professor Emeritus of the Art of Computer Programming at Stanford University. Author of the seminal multi-volume work The Art of Computer Programming ("TAOCP"), Knuth has been called the "father" of the analysis of algorithms, contributing to the development of, and systematizing formal mathematical techniques for, the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms, and in the process popularizing asymptotic notation. In addition to fundamental contributions in several branches of theoretical computer science, Knuth is the creator of the TeX computer typesetting system, the related METAFONT font definition language and rendering system, and the Computer Modern family of typefaces. A writer and scholar, Knuth created the WEB/CWEB computer programming systems designed to encourage and facilitate literate programming, and designed the MMIX instruction set architecture.
