Basic Concepts in Information Theory and Coding is an outgrowth of
a one semester introductory course that has been taught at the
University of Southern California since the mid-1960s. Lecture
notes from that course have evolved in response to student
reaction, new technological and theoretical develop ments, and the
insights of faculty members who have taught the course (in cluding
the three of us). In presenting this material, we have made it
accessible to a broad audience by limiting prerequisites to basic
calculus and the ele mentary concepts of discrete probability
theory. To keep the material suitable for a one-semester course, we
have limited its scope to discrete information theory and a general
discussion of coding theory without detailed treatment of
algorithms for encoding and decoding for various specific code
classes. Readers will find that this book offers an unusually
thorough treatment of noiseless self-synchronizing codes, as well
as the advantage of problem sections that have been honed by
reactions and interactions of several gen erations of bright
students, while Agent 00111 provides a context for the discussion
of abstract concepts."
