    Publication. The article was the founding work of the field of information theory. It was later published in 1949 as a book titled The Mathematical Theory of Communication ( ISBN 0-252-72546-8 ), which was published as a paperback in 1963 ( ISBN 0-252-72548-4 ). The book contains an additional article by Warren Weaver, providing an overview of ...

  4. Information theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_theory

    v. t. e. Information theory is the mathematical study of the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was originally established by the works of Harry Nyquist and Ralph Hartley, in the 1920s, and Claude Shannon in the 1940s. [1] : vii The field, in applied mathematics, is at the intersection of probability theory ...

    Definitions. The word communication has its root in the Latin verb communicare, which means ' to share ' or ' to make common '. Communication is usually understood as the transmission of information: a message is conveyed from a sender to a receiver using some medium, such as sound, written signs, bodily movements, or electricity.

  7. Quantization (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_(signal...

    Quantization, in mathematics and digital signal processing, is the process of mapping input values from a large set (often a continuous set) to output values in a (countable) smaller set, often with a finite number of elements. Rounding and truncation are typical examples of quantization processes. Quantization is involved to some degree in ...

  8. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    Data compression. In information theory, data compression, source coding, [1] or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. [2] Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and eliminating statistical redundancy.

  9. Signal processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_processing

    Signal processing is an electrical engineering subfield that focuses on analyzing, modifying and synthesizing signals, such as sound, images, potential fields, seismic signals, altimetry processing, and scientific measurements. [1] Signal processing techniques are used to optimize transmissions, digital storage efficiency, correcting distorted ...
