Shannon's book on the mathematical theory of communication
Book •
Claude Shannon's 'The Mathematical Theory of Communication' is a seminal work that laid the foundation for modern information theory.
It introduces the concept of entropy as a measure of uncertainty and establishes the fundamental limits on data compression and reliable communication.
The book presents separate chapters for discrete and continuous signals, addressing the unique challenges and mathematical tools required for each.
Shannon's work provides a framework for understanding how information can be quantified, transmitted, and processed efficiently.
His theories have had a profound impact on various fields, including computer science, telecommunications, and cryptography.
The book remains a cornerstone for researchers and practitioners in these areas.
