This book combines the fields of coding and information theory in a natural way. They are both theories about the representation of abstract symbols. The two fields are now each so vast that only the elements can be presented in a short book.
Focusing on both theory and practical applications, this volume combines in a natural way the two major aspects of information representation–representation for storage (coding theory) and representation for transmission (information theory).
