Fundamentals of Information Theory and Coding Design (Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications)
Editorial Reviews
Review
This book is one of the few (if not the only) texts that comprehensively deal with both the fundamentals of information theory and coding theory. The extensive use of worked examples throughout the text, especially in the more theoretical chapters 6 and 7, will greatly aid students understanding of the principles and methods discussed. The highlighting of definitions, theorems and results allows students to quickly identify and remember the important concepts. The exercise sets at the end of each chapter are quite complete with the routine questions balanced by more challenging and interesting questions. The introduction to the main concepts of abstract algebra used for the design of advanced error detecting and error correcting codes is rigorous, complete and the use of many worked examples makes it one of the best I have seen. The material is also quite extensive with discussions on additivity of mutual information, implementation details of arithmetic coding, rate distortion theory and the important Hamming and Gilbert bounds for channel codes. Overall, this is an excellent and timely textbook for senior undergraduate courses in information and coding theory for students in computer science, mathematics, and engineering.

Book Description
In a clear, concise, and modular format, this book introduces the fundamental concepts and mathematics of information and coding theory. The authors emphasize how a code is designed and discuss the main properties and characteristics of different coding algorithms along with strategies for selecting the appropriate codes to meet specific requirements. They provide comprehensive coverage of source and channel coding, address arithmetic, BCH, and Reed-Solomon codes and explore some more advanced topics such as PPM compression and turbo codes. Worked examples and sets of basic and advanced exercises in each chapter reinforce the text's clear explanations of all concepts and methodologies.
