Synopsis

This science-focused introduction examines how information can be represented and transmitted, from encoding and binary digits to entropy, language and meaning. Pierce also considers efficient encoding and the “noisy channel”, setting out the practical challenges that arise when signals are affected by interference.

The discussion extends beyond mathematics and engineering to explore connections between information theory and fields including physics, cybernetics, psychology and art. A considered choice for readers interested in the foundations and wider reach of information theory.
