Claude Shannon (1916-2001) was an American mathematician, electrical engineer, and cryptographer , widely recognized as the "father of information theory". His groundbreaking work in the 1940s laid the theoretical foundation for digital communication and computer science. Shannon's key contributions include the concept of information entropy and the Shannon-Hartley theorem , which quantify the limits of reliable data transmission over noisy channels. Core Components: Like its predecessor, the MINIVAC 6010 used electromechanical relays as logic switches and for very basic stor
