Books on information theory and coding have proliferated over the last few years‎,‎ but few succeed in covering the fundamentals without losing students in mathematical abstraction‎.‎ Even fewer build the essential theoretical framework when presenting algorithms and implementation details of modern coding systems‎.‎ Without abandoning the theoretical foundations‎,‎ Fundamentals of Information Theory and Coding Design presents working algorithms and implementations that can be used to design and create real systems‎.‎ The emphasis is on the underlying concepts governing information theory and the mathematical basis for modern coding systems‎,‎ but the authors also provide the practical details of important codes like Reed‎-Solomon‎,‎ BCH‎,‎ and Turbo codes‎.‎ Also setting this text apart are discussions on the cascading of information channels and the additivity of information‎,‎ the details of arithmetic coding‎,‎ and the connection between coding of extensions and Markov modeling‎.‎ Complete‎,‎ balanced coverage‎,‎ an outstanding format‎,‎ and a wealth of examples and exercises make this an outstanding text for upper‎-level students in computer science‎,‎ mathematics‎,‎ and engineering and a valuable reference for telecommunications engineers and coding theory researchers
