Welcome to the page of "Information Theory (INFT530105)"

Course Meeting Time:

• Letures: 2 sessions/week, 2 class hours/session

Course Information:

• This is a undergraduate-level introduction to information theory. It offers an introduction to the quantitative theory of information and its applications to reliable, efficient communication systems. Topics include mathematical definition and properties of information, source coding theorem, lossless compression of data, optimal lossless coding, channel coding theorem, etc.
