This man collaborated with Richard B. Blackman and Hendrik Bode on a project entitled "Data Smoothing and Prediction in Fire-Control Systems," and one essay described an encoding process by which the length of English language texts could be reduced by 40%.  In addition to writing "The Redundancy of English," this man designed devices like a roulette wheel to predict probabilistic outcomes of the stock market and used copper whiskers on a mechanical mouse, Theseus, which would remember paths through a maze he had completed.  A theorem he collaborated on states that for a characteristic probability density function f vanishing outside of an symmetric open interval, f is uniquely determined by values one-half pi times f of n pi over lambda.  For ten points, name this computer scientist who shares credit for a sampling theorem with Nyquist and who founded information theory.
