ABSTRACT
In 1914, Wiener traveled to Europe, where he studied under the guidance of Bertrand Russell (1872-1979) and G. H. Hardy (1877-1947) at Cambridge University, and David Hilbert (1862-1943) and Edmund Landau (1877-1938) at the University of Göttingen. During 1915-1916, he taught philosophy at Harvard University, and then worked as an engineer for General Electric Co. In 1926, Wiener returned to Europe, and spent most of his time at Göttingen and at Cambridge, where he worked on Brownian motion, Fourier integrals, the Dirichlet problem, harmonic analysis, and Tauberian theorems.
