This is the theory that has permeated the rapid development of all sorts of communication, from color television to the clear transmission of photographs from the vicinity of Jupiter. Even more revolutionary progress is expected in the future.To give a solid introduction to this burgeoning field, J. R. Pierce has revised his well-received 1961 study of information theory for an up-to-date second edition.Dover books on mathematics.Information theoryEngineering & Applied SciencesHILCCComputer ScienceHILCCInformation theory.Engineering & Applied SciencesComputer Science001.53/9Pierce John R.49829AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9911004752903321An introduction to information theory4392389UNINA
