John W. Campbell because of lack of credits for French and trigonometry. He also attended, without graduating, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he was befriended by the mathematician Norbert Wiener (who coined the term "cybernetics") – but he failed German and MIT dismissed him. After one year at Duke University, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in physics in 1932. Campbell began writing science fiction at age 18 while attending MIT and sold his first stories quickly. From January 1930 to June 1931, "Amazing Stories" published six of his short stories, one novel, and six letters. Campbell was editor of
Wiener algebra 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 norm of a function is given by where is the th Fourier coefficient of . The Wiener algebra is closed under pointwise multiplication of functions. Indeed, therefore Thus the Wiener algebra is a commutative unitary Banach algebra. Also, is isomorphic to the Banach algebra , with the isomorphism given by the Fourier transform. The sum of an absolutely convergent Fourier series is continuous, so where is the ring of continuous
