‎First publication of Shannon's paper on how a Boolean function can be represented by the sum of two sub-functions of the original. The function was later named Shannon's Expansion or the Shannon Decomposition. ""The area of switching circuits design and optimization was a focus of considerable attention. Boolean algebra provided the basic mathematical foundation for switching circuit design. Shannon provided a basis for the The Synthesis of Two-Terminal Switching Circuits in 1949"".

‎First edition of Shannon's influential paper on how to construct a telephone exchange network. ""The problem of designing a good rearrangeable network was (probably first) considered in a paper of C. E. Shannon investigating memory requirements in a telephone exchange. On the networks that he considered he imposed the realistic ""separate memory condition"" to the effect that in operation a separate part of the memory can be signed to each call on progress. This means that completion of a new call or termination of an old call will not disturb the state of memory elements associated with any call in progress. [...] Shannon's separate memory condition is actually met by modern connecting networks [...]. (Benes, Vaclav Edward. Mathematical Theory of Connecting Networks and Telephone Traffic: 017, 1965, p. 119.) Claude Shannon is widely regarded as being the father of information theory and cryptography.

A white label stating the issue's name and date pasted on to back wrapper. Internally very fine and clean. Pp. 522-52. [Entire issue: 447-552 + 6 pages with commercials].‎

‎First printing of Shannon's paper on lower bounds to error probability. This was his ""final effort to establish tight upper and lower bounds on error probability for the DMC. Earlier, Robert Fano [22] had discovered, but not completely proved, the sphere-packing lower bound on error probability. In [20], [21], the sphere-packing bound was proven rigorously, and another lower bound on error probability was established which was stronger at low data rates. The proof of the sphere-packing bound given here was quite complicated"" it was later proven in a simpler way."" (Gallager, Claude E. Shannon: A Retrospective on His Life, Work, and Impact, 2001, Pp. 2691-2).""Claude E. Shannon invented information theory and provided the concepts, insights, and mathematical formulations that now form the basis for modern communication technology. In a surprisingly large number of ways, he enabled the information age.""(Ibid.).The issue contain the following papers:Gold, E. Mark, Language Identification in the Limit, Pp. 447-474.Cohen, Joel M, The Equivalence of Two Concepts of Categorical Grammar, Pp. 475-484.Mulholland, R. G., Aravind K. Joshi, J. T. Chu.

‎Probability Error for Optimal Codes in a Gaussian Channel.‎

‎(New York), American Telephone and Telegraph Compagny, 1959. 8vo. In the original blue printed wrappers. In ""The Bell System Technical Journal"", Volume 38, Number 3, pp. Light miscolouring to spine, otherwise a very fine, clean and fresh copy. Pp. 611-656. [Entire volume: Pp. 611-907].‎

‎First printing of Shannon's important 1959-paper in which he showed that an optimal code is built by uniformly placing codewords on an n-dimensional sphere. An upper and a lower bound for the word error rate performance Pew of such a spherical code have been established by Shannon on anAWGN channel for finite n.""A study is made of coding and decoding systems for a continous channel with an additive gaussian noise and subject to an average power limitation at the transmitter. Upper and lower bounds are found for the error probability in decoding with optimal codes and decoding systems. These bounds are close together for signaling rates near channel capacity and also for signaling rates near zero, but diverge in between. Curves exhibiting these bounds are given.""

‎First edition of Shannon's famous article in which he measures the entropy rate of English text to be between 1.0 and 1.5 bits per letter, or as low as 0.6 to 1.3 bits per letter.""A new method of estimating the entropy and redundancy of a language is described. This method exploits the knowledge of the language statistics possessed by those who speak the language, and depends on experimental results in prediction of the next letter when the preceding text is known. Results of experiments in prediction are given, and some properties of an ideal predictor are developed."" (From the introduction to the present article).""Natural languages are highly redundant"" the number of intelligible fifty-letter English sentences is many fewer than 26*50, and the number of distinguishable ten-second phone conversations is far smaller than the number of sound signals that could be generated with frequencies up to 20.000 Hz. This immediately suggests a theory for signal compression. If you can recode the alphabet so that common sequences of letters and abbreviated, while infrequent combinations are spelled out in lengthy fashion, you can dramatically reduce the channel capacity needed to send the data.""

‎Sources of Knowledge in Old English and Anglo-Latin Literature. Studies in Honour of Charles D. Wright‎

‎, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 460 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:2 b/w, 3 col., 8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503604428.‎

‎Summary This volume positions source scholarship as integral to an understanding of the transmission of knowledge across intellectual, social, and material networks in early medieval England. Essays in this collection situate source studies in Old English and Anglo-Latin literature within a range of theoretical and methodological approaches as varied as disability studies, feminist theory, history of science, and network analysis, tracing how ideas move across cultures and showing how studying sources enables us to represent the diversity of medieval voices embedded in any given text. The essays in this volume extend the work of Charles D. Wright, who mentored a generation of scholars in methodologies of source study. The essays are organized into three sections. The first demonstrates how source studies facilitate tracing ideas across space and time. The second explores what happens to texts and ideas when they are transmitted from one culture, language, or historical moment to another. The third shows how sources illuminate wider cultural discourses. The volume attests to the flexibility of source work for early medieval English literature and argues for increased access to the tools that make such work possible.
