    Proceedings of Symposia in Applied Mathematics
    Volume: 52; 1997; 566 pp
    MSC: Primary 60; 42; 94; 31; 81

    One of the great mathematicians of this century, Norbert Wiener was a universal thinker of colossal proportions. This book contains the proceedings of the Norbert Wiener Centenary Congress held at Michigan State University on November 27–December 3, 1994. The aim of the Congress was to reveal the depth and strong coherence of thought that runs through Wiener's legacy, and to exhibit its continuation in ongoing research.

    This volume brings together the great minds who have furthered Wiener's ideas in physics, stochastics, harmonic analysis, philosophy, prosthesis and cybernetics. The presentations coherently lay out the developments of the subjects from their inception. This volume provides an excellent pathway for new investigators who may wish to pursue these developments by following the footsteps of world experts.

    There is no other book available in which experts in the various fields in which Weiner worked have presented his thoughts and contributions in such a coherent and lucid manner.
    Readership

    Graduate students, research mathematicians, physicists, engineers, statisticians, probabilitists, computer scientists, historians, and philosophers of science interested in one or more of the ideas of Norbert Wiener and/or the individual areas covered in the volume.
