Synopsis

""Cybernetics Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine"" is a groundbreaking book by Norbert Wiener that explores the concept of cybernetics, which is the study of control and communication in both biological and mechanical systems. Published in 1948, this book is considered to be one of the most influential works in the field of computer science and artificial intelligence.The book begins by discussing the basic principles of cybernetics, including feedback, control, and communication. Wiener then applies these principles to a variety of systems, including animals, machines, and social organizations. He explores how cybernetics can be used to understand and improve these systems, and how it can be applied to fields such as engineering, biology, and psychology.Throughout the book, Wiener emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary thinking and collaboration. He argues that cybernetics can only be fully understood by bringing together experts from a variety of fields, including mathematics, physics, biology, and psychology.""Cybernetics Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that has had a profound impact on the development of computer science and artificial intelligence. It is essential reading for anyone interested in these fields, as well as for those interested in the broader implications of cybernetics for society and the natural world.This Is A Study Of Human Control Functions And Mechanico-Electrical Systems Designed To Replace Them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
