Claude Shannon, American Electronic Engineer

Shannon and his famous electromechanical mouse Theseus (named after Theseus from Greek mythology) which he tried to have solve the maze in one of the first experiments in artificial intelligence. Claude Elwood Shannon (April 30, 1916 - February 24, 2001) was an American mathematician, electronic engineer, and cryptographer known as "The father of Information Theory". He is famous for having founded Information Theory with one landmark paper that he published in 1948. However, he is also credited with founding both digital computer and 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 and resolve any logical, numerical relationship. It has been claimed that this was the most important master's thesis of all time. Shannon contributed to the field of cryptanalysis for national defense during World War II, including his basic work on codebreaking and secure telecommunications. He developed Alzheimer's disease, and he spent his last few years in a nursing home. He died in 2001 at the age of 84.

Titre:
Claude Shannon, American Electronic Engineer
Légende:
Traduction automatique: Shannon et sa célèbre souris électromécanique Thésée (du nom de Thésée de la mythologie grecque) dont il a tenté de faire résoudre le labyrinthe dans l'une des premières expériences d'intelligence artificielle. Claude Elwood Shannon (30 avril 1916 - 24 février 2001) était un mathématicien, ingénieur électronique et cryptographe américain connu sous le nom de « le père de la théorie de l'information ». Il est célèbre pour avoir fondé la théorie de l'information avec un article historique qu'il a publié en 1948. Cependant, on lui attribue également le mérite d'avoir fondé la théorie de l'ordinateur numérique et de la conception de circuits numériques en 1937, lorsque, alors qu'il était étudiant en maîtrise de 21 ans au Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), il a rédigé sa thèse démontrant que les applications électriques de l'algèbre booléenne pouvaient construire et résoudre n'importe quelle relation logique et numérique. On a prétendu qu'il s'agissait du mémoire de maîtrise le plus important de tous les temps. Shannon a contribué au domaine de la cryptanalyse pour la défense nationale pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, notamment par ses travaux de base sur le décryptage et les télécommunications sécurisées. Il a développé la maladie d'Alzheimer et a passé ses dernières années dans une maison de retraite. Il est décédé en 2001 à l'âge de 84 ans
