Recent Contributions to The Mathematical Theory of Communication
This paper is written in three main sections. In the first and third, W. W. is responsible both for the ideas and the form. The middle section, namely “2), Communication Problems of Level A” is an interpretation of mathematical papers by Dr. Claude E. Shannon of the Bell Telephone Laboratories. Dr. Shannon’s work roots back, as von Neumann has pointed out, to Boltzmann’s observation, in some of...
متن کاملIntroduction to Mathematical Modelling Lectures 3-4: Basic Probability Theory
Suppose we observe a gambler enter a casino with $100 in his/her pocket, and then leave a few hours later with $87. This is a situation we might want to model, particularly if we are thinking about entering the casino ourselves. Without any additional information, i.e., any additional data, there is little more that we can predict than if someone else goes into the casino with $100 and leaves a...
متن کاملFeller's Contributions to Mathematical Biology
This is a review of William Feller’s important contributions to mathematical biology. The seminal paper [Feller 1951] Diffusion processes in genetics was particularly influential on the development of stochastic processes at the interface to evolutionary biology, and interesting ideas in this direction (including a first characterization of what is nowadays known as “Feller’s branching diffusio...
متن کاملContributions to Persistence Theory
Persistence theory discussed in this paper 1 is an application of algebraic topology (Morse Theory) to Data Analysis, precisely to qualitative understanding of point cloud data. Mathematically a point cloud data is a finite metric space of a very large cardinality. It can be geometrized as a filtration of simplicial complexes and the homology changes of these complexes provide qualitative infor...
