本专着的目的是纪念科学家和医生哈里·维纳（Harry Wiener，1924-1998）的生活和工作。因此，在本书的开篇章节中，我们应该将焦点集中在这位杰出人物的许多显著成就上。因此，我们在这里首次介绍维纳的生平和时代的完整传记。由于本专着主要面向数学化学界，我们强调并特别赞扬维纳在该领域的贡献。特别是，对导致维纳突破第一个拓扑指数的事件进行了一些详细的解释。然而，除了讨论维纳的化学成就之外，我们还讲述了他早年极其不寻常和戏剧性的情况以及他成功克服的许多困难。他的前同事和同事以及家人提供的一些第一手回忆极大地丰富了我们的叙述。
The purpose of the present monograph is to commemorate the life and work of the scientist and physician Harry Wiener (1924-1998). In this opening chapter it is thus fitting that the spotlight be directed on the many notable achievements of this remarkable man. Accordingly, we present here for the first time a full biographical account of the life and times of Wiener. As this monograph is intended primarily for the mathematical chemistry community, we highlight and pay especial tribute to Wiener's contributions in this area. In particular, the events leading up to Wiener's breakthrough to the first topological index are explained in some detail. In addition to discussing Wiener's chemical accomplishments, however, we also recount the highly unusual and dramatic circumstances of the early part of his life and the many difficulties he successfully overcame. Our account is considerably enriched by several first-hand reminiscences provided by his former colleagues and coworkers, and by family members.
