The Mathematical Theory of Communication

The Mathematical Theory of Communication

<div>Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as <i>The Mathematical Theory of Communication</i>, published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings.  It is a revolutionary work, astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity.  The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic.<br /><br /> <br /><br /> </div>
