Information theory as a systematic framework to address fundamental laws and limits of data compression and digital communication. Source coding/data compression; information measures on discrete memory-less sources; practical schemes and algorithms for lossless data compression such as Huffman coding, arithmetic coding, Lempel-Ziv Coding; channel coding for reliable communication and rate distortion for lossy source compression. Advanced topics such as information theoretic cryptography. Recommendations: EE 104 or permission of instructor.
