Exercise in Information Theory

Course Purpose
The goal of this course is to acquire basic knowledge on information theory and communication theory which are useful and applied in other fields of information science.
Learning Goals
Students should understand the principle of some simple source and channel coding schemes and write programs for simulating them.
