I.J. Good is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — Early work on the Fast Fourier Transform and Bayesian methods.
Good was a statistician and cryptologist who worked at Bletchley Park with Alan Turing on breaking German ciphers, and later made deep contributions to Bayesian statistics, the fast Fourier transform (the Good–Thomas algorithm) and early artificial-intelligence thought, including the concept of an 'intelligence explosion.' Born Isadore Jacob Gudak to a Polish-Jewish immigrant family in London, he was Jewish. He spent his later career at Virginia Tech.
