诺伯特·维纳

1960年，著名数学家诺伯特·维纳，即控制论的创立者，这样说道：“如果我们要用它来达到我们的目的，即一个机械体，但是我们的操作不能有效地干预，那么我们最好确定我们对这个机械的目的是我们真正想要的目的。

In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener , who founded the field of cybernetics , put it this way ： " If we use , to achieve our purposes , a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere , we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire ． "

美国数学家诺伯特·维纳于1948年发表的《控制论》一书，标志着控制论的正式诞生。

In 1948 , American mathematician Norbert Wiener published his monograph " CYBERNETICS or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine ", which indicated cybernetics ' naissance .

一位美国数学家，诺伯特·维纳，作为计算机理论研究者，加入了冯·诺伊曼的团队。他在战争中，也从纯理论研究转向了机械，在自动防空系统方面产生了巨大的影响。

As a theoretician of computers , von Neumann had been joined by Norbert Wiener , the American mathematician of a slightly earlier generation , whom the war had likewise taken from group theory to machinery , although in his case the servo-mechanisms of anti-aircraft artillery had been the formative influence .
