Norbert Wiener

Norbert Wiener (26. novembar 1894 – 18 mart 1964) bio je američki matematičar i filozof. Bio je profesor matematike na MIT-u.

Čuveno "čudo od djeteta", Wiener je kasnije postao rani istraživač stohastičkih i bučnih procesa, doprinoseći radovima bitnim za elektronsko inženjerstvo, elektronske komunikacije, i kontrolne sisteme.

Wiener je smatran začetnikom kibernetike,  formalizacije ideje povratne sprege, sa implikacijama za inženjerstvo, kontrolu sistema, računarstvo, biologiju, neuronauku, filozofiju, i organizaciju društva.
