In depth, all the important information theory topics are discussed, including entropy, data compression, channel bandwidth, rate distortion, network information theory, and testing of theories. The writers have a solid knowledge of the fundamental philosophy and applications to readers. At the end of each chapter, problem sets and a telegraphic description support readers more. The historical remarks that accompany each section outline the key points.

The Second Edition of Elements of Information Theory, now present and revised, remains the perfect textbook for upper-level electrical engineering, statistics, and telecommunications undergraduate and graduate classes.
