Excellent introduction treats 3 major areas: analysis of channel models and proof of coding theorems; study of specific coding systems; and study of statistical properties of information sources. Appendix summarizes Hilbert space background and results from the theory of stochastic processes. Advanced undergraduate to graduate level. Bibliography.

Mathematical Foundations of Information Theory by A. Ya. Khinchin Comprehensive, rigorous introduction to work of Shannon, McMillan, Feinstein and Khinchin. Translated by R. A. Silverman and M. D. Friedman.
Probability Theory: A Concise Course by Y. A. Rozanov This clear exposition begins with basic concepts and moves on to combination of events, dependent events and random variables, Bernoulli trials and the De Moivre-Laplace theorem, and more. Includes 150 problems, many with answers.
Information Theory and Statistics by Solomon Kullback Highly useful text studies logarithmic measures of information and their application to testing statistical hypotheses. Includes numerous worked examples and problems. References. Glossary. Appendix. 1968 2nd, revised edition.
Communication Nets: Stochastic Message Flow and Delay by Leonard Kleinrock This text develops a queuing theory model of communications nets. Its realistic assessment of factors involved in message flow will benefit those working with computers and other communications systems. 1964 edition.
Information Theory by Stanford Goldman Students of electrical engineering or applied mathematics can find no clearer presentation of the principles of information theory than this excellent introduction. After explaining the nature of information theory and its problems, the author examines a variety of important ...
Statistical Theory of Communication by Y. W. Lee Clear and rigorous, this systematic presentation by a pioneer in the field introduces upper-level undergraduates and graduate students to the statistical theory of communication.
Stochastic Processes and Filtering Theory by Andrew H. Jazwinski This unified treatment presents material previously available only in journals, and in terms accessible to engineering students. Although theory is emphasized, it discusses numerous practical applications as well. 1970 edition.
