Product Description

Review

"As expected, the quality of exposition continues to be a high point of the book. Clear explanations, nice graphical illustrations, and illuminating mathematical derivations make the book particularly useful as a textbook on information theory." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2008)

"This book is recommended reading, both as a textbook and as a reference." (Computing Reviews.com, December 28, 2006)

5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough and readable intro text, 22 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Elements of Information Theory (Telecommunications) (Hardcover)

Cover and Thomas have written an excellent book on information theory. This book is suitable for an introductory type course but the entire book probably cannot be covered at once. All of the explanations and proofs are very understandable, although the section on types can be a tad confusing at times! I would not recommend this book to someone with a casual interest in information theory, rather to someone who wants a more rigorous treatment of the underlying mathematics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent modern overview of information theory., 20 Feb 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Elements of Information Theory (Telecommunications) (Hardcover)

I feel this is a very well written and organized overview of the most important aspects of information theory for both science and communications technology. The chapter on the theory of types is worth the price of admission alone!
