Claude E. Shannon: Founder of Information Theory

I found This One from over at Scientific American quite interesting. They say there\’s a new type of information science in town, and it\’s called \”quantum information science\”. They Have a Second Story that explains what that means.

This one is on Claude E. Shannon, who, in a landmark paper written at Bell Labs in 1948, Shannon defined in mathematical terms what information is and how it can be transmitted in the face of noisw, and thus was born \”Classical\” information science .
