Introduction to Information Theory and Data Compression, Third Edition

This unique text imparts the fundamentals of both information theory and data compression. Although the two topics are related, this text allows either topic to be presented independently and the data compression section requires no previous knowledge of information theory. The treatment of information theory is theoretical and abstract but elementary.

Acest text unic ofera fundamentele atat ale teoriei informatiei, cat si ale comprimarii datelor. Desi cele doua subiecte sunt legate, acest text permite prezentarea independenta a oricarui subiect, iar sectiunea de comprimare a datelor nu necesita cunostinte anterioare de teoria informatiei.
