Journal Article
The mathematical theory of communication
Claude E. Shannon,Warren Weaver +1 more
TL;DR: The Mathematical Theory of Communication (MTOC) as discussed by the authors was originally published as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago and has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mathematical Theory of Communication
TL;DR: The theory of communication is extended to include a number of new factors, in particular the effect of noise in the channel, and the savings possible due to the statistical structure of the original message anddue to the nature of the final destination of the information.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mathematical Theory of Communication
Book ChapterDOI
Science and complexity.
TL;DR: Science has led to a multitude of results that affect men’s lives, some of which are embodied in mere conveniences of a relatively trivial sort, but others are of unquestioned benefit and comfort.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Settling of Small Particles in a Fluid
Max Mason,Warren Weaver +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a partial differential equation for the number density of particles as a function of depth and time is derived for a liquid of finite depth with an arbitrary initial distribution, and a reduced form of the solution is obtained which contains a single parameter.
