5 Equations that changed science (IMHO):
1: Second Newtonian law: F=ma
2: MaxwellFaraday equation: \Delta x E= - dB/dt
3: E=mc^2 -Einstein's massenergy equivalence
4: C=B x log_2(1+SNR) --Shannon-Hartley equation
5: F_{sampling} >= 2 x B ->Nyquist-Shannon theorem
No surprise that one finds Shannon twice in this list..Such was the seminal nature of his contributions..

It's great to see some good EE researchers like Berlekamp etc in this video. I've never seen them and have only read their papers:-).. One must also admit that a lot of good work on information theory these days is being done by computer scientists and physicists.

@UCtelevision In most cases they're irrelevant (for example, in case of Berlekamp and Lucky who are seem to be lazy to pronounce words correctly.) It's the headache for me.

@DexterHaven49 You think Einstein didn't know about the DP?
-
@EricQuagmire Newton's second law is just a definition. It isn't a physical law at all. All the work gets done in the first law and in the third.

Does anybody have English subtitles for this video?

This man is to thank for Internet Porno. Thank you, Mr. Shannon. You're super cool. The end.

@MumblingMickey ohh and the price equations..... it'd be hard to think of a better example of a cybernetic system than price's natural selection equations....
-
@EricQuagmire I'd add fishers equations on to that list too...

great video on information theory!
