Introduction to Information Theory and Data Compression, Second Edition

An effective blend of carefully explained theory and practical applications, this text imparts the fundamentals of both information theory and data compression. Although the two topics are related, this unique text allows either topic to be presented independently, and it was specifically designed so that the data compression section requires no prior knowledge of information theory. The treatment of information theory, while theoretical and abstract, is quite elementary, making this text less daunting than many others. After presenting the fundamental definitions and results of the theory, the authors then apply the theory to memoryless, discrete channels with zeroth-order, one-state sources. The chapters on data compression acquaint students with a myriad of lossless compression methods and then introduce two lossy compression methods. Students emerge from this study competent in a wide range of techniques. The authors' presentation is highly practical but includes some important proofs, either in the text or in the exercises, so instructors can, if they choose, place more emphasis on the mathematics. Introduction to Information Theory and Data Compression, Second Edition is ideally suited for an upper-level or graduate course for students in mathematics, engineering, and computer science. Features: Expanded discussion of the historical and theoretical basis of information theory that builds a firm, intuitive grasp of the subject Reorganization of theoretical results along with new exercises, ranging from the routine to the more difficult, that reinforce students' ability to apply the definitions and results in specific situations. Simplified treatment of the algorithm(s) of Gallager and Knuth Discussion of the information rate of a code and the trade-off between error correction and information rate Treatment of probabilistic finite state source automata, including basic results, examples, references, and exercises Octave and MATLAB image compression codes included in an appendix for use with the exercises and projects involving transform methods Supplementary materials, including software, available for download from the authors' Web site at www.dms.auburn.edu/compression

INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

This textbook is designed for a first course in Information Technology (IT), offered as core course for all undergraduate university students. It will also benefit students preparing for DOEACC (O level), polytechnic students, and professional courses such as CA. As IT is a rapidly advancing technology, the main objective of this book is to emphasize reasonably stable fundamental concepts on which this technology is built. The book is broadly organized into three parts. The first part describes the hardware devices used for acquisition of numerical, graphical, audio and video data and their representation in binary form. The second part describes the methods of storing, processing and disseminating data. The final part describes both the systems and application software. Applications include word processors, spreadsheets, multimedia processing, some uses of the Internet, business processes and e-commerce. The concluding chapter presents a discussion of social networks, social impacts of Information Technology and career opportunities in the field of IT. Key Features Provides comprehensive coverage of IT from first principles Describes a large number of important applications of IT Explains acquisition, storage, organization, processing, display, and dissemination of multimedia data Covers business data processing, the Internet and World Wide Web, e-commerce, social impacts of IT and job opportunities in IT enabled services Every chapter begins with a statement of learning goals and ends with a comprehensive summary.
