Although Nobert Wiener dreamed of Cybernetics as the common denominator language among all sciences, little have been achieved towards this direction over the last sixty years. Apparently the mathematics involved and the technicality of the subject made it a no man's land for anyone without a background in engineering or maths despite the efforts of numerous teachers and educators.
An excellent example of an introductory text on the subject is : ASHBY, W. Ross An Introduction to CYBERNETICS. Methuen & Co Ltd, London ; 1964. (*)
A book that requires only a solid knowledge of elementary mathematics and the dedication of the reader in order to understand not only the basis of this language, but also its advanced applications on areas as diverse as biology, economy, or even a game of chess.
