Book cover: Essential Coding TheoryEssential Coding Theory
by - University at Buffalo ,
Error-correcting codes are clever ways of representing data so that one can recover the original information even if parts of it are corrupted. The basic idea is to introduce redundancy so that the original information can be recovered ...

Book cover: Data CompressionData Compression
- Wikibooks ,
Data compression is useful in some situations because 'compressed data' will save time (in reading and on transmission) and space if compared to the unencoded information it represent. In this book, we describe the decompressor first.

Book cover: Logic and InformationLogic and Information
by - ESSLLI ,
An introductory, comparative account of three mathematical approaches to information: the classical quantitative theory of Claude Shannon, a qualitative theory developed by Fred Dretske, and a qualitative theory introduced by Barwise and Perry.

Book cover: Algorithmic Information TheoryAlgorithmic Information Theory
by - CWI ,
We introduce algorithmic information theory, also known as the theory of Kolmogorov complexity. We explain this quantitative approach to defining information and discuss the extent to which Kolmogorov's and Shannon's theory have a common purpose.

Book cover: The Limits of MathematicsThe Limits of Mathematics
by - Springer ,
The final version of a course on algorithmic information theory and the epistemology of mathematics. The book discusses the nature of mathematics in the light of information theory, and sustains the thesis that mathematics is quasi-empirical.

Book cover: Quantum Information TheoryQuantum Information Theory
by - ETH Zurich ,
Processing of information is necessarily a physical process. It is not surprising that physics and the theory of information are inherently connected. Quantum information theory is a research area whose goal is to explore this connection.
