As this Preface is being written, the twentieth century is coming to an end. Historians may
perhaps come to refer to it as the century of information, just as its predecessor is associated …

Books on information theory and coding have proliferated over the last few years, but few
succeed in covering the fundamentals without losing students in mathematical abstraction …

This fundamental monograph introduces both the probabilistic and algebraic aspects of
information theory and coding. It has evolved from the authors' years of experience teaching …

These notes were written over a period of years as part of an advanced undergraduate/
beginning graduate course on Algebraic Coding Theory at Michigan State University. They …

It is gratifying that this textbook is still sufficiently popular to warrant a third edition. I have
used the opportunity to improve and enlarge the book. When the second edition was …

Shannon's communication (information) theory cast about as much light on the problem of
the communication engineer as can be shed. It reflected or encompassed earlier work, but it …

Information theory has helped communication technology to a great extent during the last
half-century. published a special issue in October 1998 [1], edited by Verdú and McLaughlin …

This easy-to-read guide provides a concise introduction to the engineering background of
modern communication systems, from mobile phones to data compression and storage …

Information theory has, in the last few years, become something of a scientific bandwagon.
Starting as a technical tool for the communication engineer, it has received an extraordinary …

This book is about the definition of the Shannon measure of Information, and some derived
quantities such as conditional information and mutual information. Unlike many books …
