The mathematical theory of communication studies in a mathematical way
the conditions under which one can transmit data, in particular at which
speed, and with what reliability. We owe this expression to Claude
Shannon (1916–2001), and a variant of it gave rise to a scientific
field, information theory.
Mathematician, electrical engineer,
computer scientist, cryptologist, Shannon’s scientific activity
encompassed all these fields, be it during his PhD Thesis at MIT, within
the US Army during the World War II, or at the MIT of which he became a
professor in 1956.
One can recognize many sources of inspiration of
Shannon’s works, such as those of the mathematicians Norbert Wiener and
Andrey Kolmogorov, but his direct motivation seems related to the
military effort of WorldWar II.
Writing these notes made me more
aware of the way the mathematical and physical sciences, information
theory in particular, are intimately linked with military efforts, more
generally to the military-industrial complex. At a time of history where
mathematics and computer science play an important role, by their
handling of enormous amounts of digital data or encryption of
communications, to the point that one can talk of “surveillance
capitalism”, if that awareness reaches the readers of this book then
this meager effort shall not have been made in vain.
