Written for students who are at the introductory level, Information Theory includes examples, a glossary, and tutorials explaining essential principles and applications of information theory.
Originally developed by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, information theory laid the foundation for the digital revolution and is now an essential tool in telecommunications, genetics, linguistics, brain sciences, and deep space communication. Examples introduce information theory using everyday games like "20 Questions" before exploring more advanced topics.
The online MATLAB examples give students hands-on experience, and PowerPoint slides provide support for teaching.
