Cybernetics for Beginners
May Sherry
Cybernetics for Beginners: Understanding the Science of Systems and Control is your gateway into the fascinating world of cybernetics, the interdisciplinary study that connects systems, control, communication, and feedback across both natural and technological domains. Whether you're curious about how living organisms maintain stability, how machines learn and adapt, or how societies function as complex systems, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to these concepts.
Starting with the foundational ideas of cybernetics, the book traces the historical development of the field, from the pioneering work of Norbert Wiener to its modern applications in robotics, artificial intelligence, and social systems. You'll explore key concepts like feedback loops, self-organization, and complex adaptive systems, gaining insight into how they apply to everything from biology and engineering to management and economics.
Designed for beginners, Cybernetics for Beginners offers clear explanations, practical examples, and real-world applications, making complex ideas easy to understand and relevant to our increasingly interconnected world. Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply a curious reader, this book will equip you with the knowledge to see the world through the lens of cybernetics—revealing the underlying systems that shape our lives, our technology, and our future.
