About this Item

Published jointly by The Technology Press of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, New York - Chapman & Hall, London, 1949. 8vo. Publishers full cloth. Provenance: Handwritten signature to front free end paper of statistician Anders Hald (author of "A History of Mathematical Statistics"). A fine and clean copy. IX,(1),163,(1) pp. First edition of this classic in modern communication theory. The work was circulated as a classified memorandum in 1942, as it was connected with sensitive war-time efforts to improve radar communication. Combining ideas from statistics and time-series analysis, Wiener used Gauss's method of shaping the characteristic of a detector to allow for the maximal recognition of signals in the presence of noise. This method came to be known as the "Wiener filter.".
