Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0754.00002.] Norbert Wiener (1894-1964) was born in Columbia, Missouri, USA. He received his Ph. D. degree in Philosophy (with a dissertation in Mathematical Logic) from Harvard University. In the essay, the author briefly presents a sketch of Wiener's biography; then describes Wiener's mathematical contributions to potential theory, probability theory, Tauberian theory, Fourier analysis and time series analysis. The main purpose of the author's essay is to convey to the readers something of the nature of the contents of the recently completed four volumes of the Collected Works of N. Wiener and report on a more recently published biography of the latter. The author of the biography is Professor Pesi Masani who is also the editor of the four volumes of Collected Works.
