Nonlinear Problems in Random Theory.

New York: The Technology Press of the Massachussetts Institute of Technology, John Wiley and Sons, Inc, 1958. 8vo. In the original green embossed full cloth with the original wrappers. Previous owner's stamp to front free end-paper. Wrappers with some wear, otherwise a very fine and clean copy. IX, (1), 131 pp. First edition, with author's signature to title page, of this seminal work within modelling of physiological systems. The book is "an examination of the role of nonlinear processes in physics, mathematics, electrical engineering, physiology and communications theory." (OOC 1004)."Wiener's seminal ideas on systems and cybernetics have shaped the entire field of systems science and have inspired it tremendous in the last 50 years. [.] Furthermore, Wiener's specific mathematical ideas for modeling nonlinear dynamic systems in a stochastic context, presented in his seminal monograph [the present], have provided great impetus to our collective efforts for modeling physiological systems."
