Computer ethics the 1940s with MIT professor Norbert Wiener, the American mathematician and philosopher. While working on anti-aircraft artillery during World War II, Wiener and his fellow engineers developed a system of communication between the part of a cannon that tracked a warplane, the part that performed calculations to estimate a trajectory, and the part responsible for firing. Wiener termed the science of such information feedback systems "cybernetics," and he discussed this new field with its related ethical concerns in his 1948 book, "Cybernetics". In 1950, Wiener's second book, "The Human Use of Human Beings", delved deeper into the ethical issues surrounding
Wiener algebra functions on the unit circle. On the other hand an integration by parts, together with the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality and Parseval's formula, shows that More generally, for formula_8 (see ). proved that if has absolutely convergent Fourier series and is never zero, then its inverse also has an absolutely convergent Fourier series. Many other proofs have appeared since then, including an elementary one by . which is equivalent to Wiener's theorem. Wiener algebra In mathematics, the Wiener algebra, named after Norbert Wiener and usually denoted by , is the space of absolutely convergent Fourier series. Here denotes the circle group. The
