Cybernetics: Fundamentals and Applications
Informacje o e-booku
The study of cybernetics encompasses a wide range of topics and is primarily concerned with cyclical causal processes like feedback. Norbert Wiener gave the field its name after an example of circular causal feedback: the process of steering a ship, in which the helmsman adjusts the ship's steering in reaction to the effect it is perceived as having. This enables the ship to maintain a constant course despite disruptions such as crosswinds or the tide.
