Shannon Claude Elwood (1916-1980) US. math., research on Boolean algebra, cryptography, pioneered information theory - full statement of which appeared in The Mathematical Theory of Communication (1949)... 

Claude Elwood Shannon (1916-2001), American mathematician, prolessor at the Mcissachusetts Institute of Technology, his prof sional life was associated with the Bell Laboratories. His idea, now so obvious, that information may be transmitted as a sequence of 0 and 1" was shocking in 1948. It was said that Shannon used to understand problems in zero Hm. ... 

In his 1940 Massachusetts Institute of Technology master s thesis, Claude Elwood Shannon used symbolic Boolean algebra as a way to analyze relay and switching circuits. Boole s work thus became the foundation for the development of modern electronics and digital computer technology. 

With the publication of A Symbolic Analysis of Relay and Svntching Circuits (1940) and A Mathematical Theory of Communication (1948), American mathematician Claude Elwood Shannon introduced a new area for the application of Boolean algebra. He showed that the basic properties of series and parallel combinations of electric devices such as relays could be adequately represented by this symbolic algebra. Since then. Boolean algebra has played a significant role in computer science and technology. 

Concepts of digital circuits and information theory (Claude Elwood Shannon) Shannon s most important contributions were electronic switching and using information theory to discover the basic requirements for data transmission.
