"A translation of ... two papers ... The entropy concept in probability theory [and] On the fundamental theorems of information theory."
The first comprehensive introduction to information theory, this text explores the work begun by Shannon and continued by McMillan, Feinstein, and Khinchin. Its rigorous treatment addresses the entropy concept in probability theory and fundamental theorems as well as ergodic sources, the martingale concept, anticipation and memory, and other subjects. 1957 edition.
