Summary:

Based on Two Courses Given by the authors, Information Theory and Data Compression, this is an excellent text for upper-level undergraduate students, lower-level graduate students, and professionals in applied mathematics, electrical and computer engineering, and computer science. Unique in its presentation, this text allows connections to be made between information theory and data compression, and also allows the two parts to be studied independently.-- Material has been successfully taught at Auburn University and is written for both students and professionals-- Fills the need for a single text on information theory and data compression-- Applications are featured with regard to image compression, sound compression, and compression of data

Notes:

Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-325) and index.
