20th Century Time Machine | Claude Shannon: The Ingenious "Father of Information Theory" @20thCenturyTimeMachine | Uploaded September 2016 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Claude Elwood Shannon was an American mathematician, electrical engineer, and cryptographer known as "the father of information theory".
Shannon is noted for having founded information theory with a landmark paper that he published in 1948. He is perhaps equally well known for founding digital circuit design theory in 1937, when, as a 21-year-old master's degree student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he wrote his thesis demonstrating that electrical applications of Boolean algebra could construct any logical, numerical relationship. Shannon contributed to the field of cryptanalysis for national defence during World War II, including his basic work on codebreaking and secure telecommunications.
