The Mathematical Theory of Communication

A small book and 100% worth reading for anyone looking to develop as a thinker.

Lo mismo que el anterior, los avientan al patio, pero es la compañía de envío, sin embargo es un gran tesoro este libro, me encanta recibir estos libros, seguiré pidiendo más.

Dans cette article Shannon fonde la théorie de l'information qui participera à l'avénement de l'informatique. C'est un livre que tout mathématicien/informaticien devrait lire afin de se rendre compte à quelle point une idée simple et intuitive peut changer le monde. C'est un must have pour toutes bibliothèques scientifiques qui se respecte.

This book is clasical book and its very important to feel inspiration in the telecommunications área, its contain is excellent this is a very important source of information in the communications filed

This is the seminal work that may be said to include the basic concepts, definitions and theorems of information and communication theory. This book does not need any praise because anybody who had even an introductory education in computer science or electronics of communication will have met the name of Shannon (if you haven't yet, please rush to Google and read his achievements).The beauty of this edition is twofold. It includes two main parts. First part is by Weaver, and you don't need anything more than high school logic and algebra to understand the very clearly explained concepts. The second part by Shannon is 'the real thing' and for the mathematically educated reader, you need a fine grasp of probability theory, calculus, and a little bit of calculus of variations if you want to absorb all of the material.To sum it up, if you want to really understand what entropy means in terms of information theory, then this is THE book for it. You'll also find very entertaining examples about the redundancy and entropy of the English language and how this relates to creating crossword puzzles in 2 dimension or 3 dimension.You owe it to yourself to read this short book if you are a computer scientist, computer engineer or electronics engineer.
