Abstract

The main contributions which gave birth to the so-called information theory ca.me after the Second World War from the mathematicians C. E. Shannon and N. Wiener. Wiener's mathematical contributions to the field of Fourier series and later t o time series and also his interest in the field of communication, led to the foundation of communication theories in general. His books, Cybernetics and Extrapolation, Interpolation, and Smoothing of Stationary Time Series (1948 and 1949), paved the way for the arrival of new statistical theories of communication.
