Samuel Jefferson Mason (1921–1974) was an American electronics engineer. Mason's invariant and Mason's rule are named after him. He was born in New York City, but he grew up in a small town in New Jersey. It was so small, in fact, that it only had a population of 26. He received a B.S. in electrical engineering from Rutgers University in 1942, and after graduation, he joined the Antenna Group of MIT Radiation Laboratory as a staff member. Mason went on to earn his S.M. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1947 and 1952, respectively. After World War II, the Radiation Laboratory was renamed the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics, where he became the associate director in 1967. Mason served on the faculty of MIT from 1949 until his death in 1974 – as an assistant professor in

  • Samuel Jefferson Mason (1921–1974) was an American electronics engineer. Mason's invariant and Mason's rule are named after him. He was born in New York City, but he grew up in a small town in New Jersey. It was so small, in fact, that it only had a population of 26. He received a B.S. in electrical engineering from Rutgers University in 1942, and after graduation, he joined the Antenna Group of MIT Radiation Laboratory as a staff member. Mason went on to earn his S.M. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from MIT in 1947 and 1952, respectively. After World War II, the Radiation Laboratory was renamed the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics, where he became the associate director in 1967. Mason served on the faculty of MIT from 1949 until his death in 1974 – as an assistant professor in 1949, associate professor in 1954, and full professor in 1959. Mason unexpectedly died in 1974 due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Mason's doctoral dissertation, supervised by Ernst Guillemin, was on signal-flow graphs and he is often credited with inventing them. Another one of his contributions to the field of control systems theory was a method to find the transfer function of a system, now known as Mason's rule. Mason was an expert in optical scanning systems for printed materials. He was the leader of the Cognitive Information Processing Group of the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics, and he created systems that scanned printed materials and read them out loud for the blind. Similarly, he developed tactile devices powered by photocells that enabled the blind to sense light. While at MIT, Mason was also responsible for revisions to the undergraduate curriculum in electrical engineering. He implemented innovations in the teaching of electric circuit theory by co-authoring a textbook on the subject, and he introduced digital signal analysis to undergraduates, which led to a textbook as well. Mason was also known to get students heavily involved in research, and he often had six or more doctoral candidates under his care. His students remembered him as, "A gentle, compassionate man...[who] had a deep, abiding interest in young people." Similarly, one of his thesis advisees said, "I came to know, admire, and respect Professor Mason as a thinker, friend, personal adviser, and confidant." Mason also served his community as the chairman of the Faculty Committee on Student Environment, a member of the Faculty Committee on Education in the Face of Poverty and Segregation, and a leader of underprivileged youth in the Upward Bound program.

  • Samuel Jefferson Mason (1921–1974) foi um engenheiro eletrônico norte-americano. A Invariante de Mason e a Lei de Mason são exemplos de suas contribuições. Samuel nasceu em Nova Iorque, mas cresceu em uma cidade pequena em Nova Jérsia, pequena a ponto de ter uma população de apenas 26 habitantes. Ele recebeu seu bacharelato em engenharia elétrica pela Universidade Rutgers em 1942 e, após sua graduação, ingressou no Grupo de Antenas do Laboratório de Radiação do MIT como um dos membros da equipe. Mason acabou recebendo seu mestrado e seu doutorado em engenharia elétrica pelo MIT em 1947 e em 1952, respectivamente. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o Laboratório de Radiação foi renomeado para Laboratório de Pesquisa Eletrônica do MIT, onde se tornou diretor associado em 1967. Mason exerceu seus estudos no MIT de 1949 até sua morte, no ano de 1974 - como um professor assistente em 1949, um professor adjunto em 1956 e um professor catedrático em 1959.Samuel veio a falecer inesperadamente em 1974 devido a uma hemorragia cerebral. A tese de doutorado de Mason, supervisionada por Ernst Guillemin, tratou-se do diagrama de fluxo de sinal, grafo cuja autoria é muitas vezes atribuída erroneamente a ele. Outra de suas contribuições ao campo da teoria de sistemas de controle foi o método de achar a função de transferência de um sistema, também conhecido como Lei de Mason. Mason era um especialista em sistemas de escaneamento ótico para materiais impressos. Conseguiu criar sistemas que escaneavam materiais impressos e que os liam para os cegos. Similarmente, desenvolveu dispositivos tácteis alimentados por células fotovoltaicas que permitiam cegos sentirem a luz. Enquanto no MIT, Mason também era responsável por revisar os currículos dos estudantes universitários no curso de engenharia elétrica. Ele implementou inovações no ensino de teoria de circuitos elétricos pela coautoria de um livro didático sobre o assunto, introduzindo-lhes análise de sinais digitais, lhe inspirando a produzir outro livro didático. Mason também era conhecido por inspirar os estudantes a dedicar-se à pesquisa, normalmente tendo seis ou mais candidatos a doutorado sob sua tutela. Seus estudantes lembram-se dele como "Um homem gentil e compassivo que tinha grande tolerância no trato com os jovens." Similarmente, um de seus conselheiros de tese disse: "Eu vim a conhecer, admirar e respeitar o professor Mason como um pensador, amigo, conselheiro pessoal e confidente." Mason também serviu sua comunidade como presidente do Comitê da Faculdade para o Ambiente Estudantil, como membro da Comitê da Faculdade de Educação no setor de Pobreza e Segregação e como um líder de jovens carentes do programa Upward Bound.
