Norbert Wiener Norbert Wiener Norbert Wiener (November 26, 1894 – March 18, 1964) was an American mathematician and philosopher. He was a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). A child prodigy, Wiener later became an early researcher in stochastic and mathematical noise processes, contributing work relevant to electronic engineering, electronic communication, and control systems. Wiener is considered the originator of cybernetics, a formalization of the notion of feedback, with implications for engineering, systems control, computer science, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, and the organization of society. Wiener was born in Columbia, Missouri, the first child of Leo Wiener and Bertha
Classical Wiener space Classical Wiener space In mathematics, classical Wiener space is the collection of all continuous functions on a given domain (usually a sub-interval of the real line), taking values in a metric space (usually "n"-dimensional Euclidean space). Classical Wiener space is useful in the study of stochastic processes whose sample paths are continuous functions. It is named after the American mathematician Norbert Wiener. Consider "E" ⊆ R and a metric space ("M", "d"). The classical Wiener space "C"("E"; "M") is the space of all continuous functions "f" : "E" → "M". I.e. for every fixed "t" in "E", In almost all
