Features: This book primarily introduces the fundamental content of information theory and coding theory. Its distinctive feature lies in its rigorous mathematical descriptions and derivations, while also paying attention to the practical background of information theory. Many typical problems in this field have been practically applied in communication engineering. The book consists of 12 chapters, covering the main content such as: the measurement of information and source coding, channel coding problems and coding theorems, basic algebraic knowledge used in coding theory, fundamental concepts and problems in coding theory, linear codes, Hamming codes, cyclic codes, BCH codes, Reed-Solomon codes, and other important linear codes, as well as the application issues of information and coding theory. Each chapter ends with exercises, some of which supplement the main text to help students review and consolidate the knowledge learned. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in information science and related fields at universities and colleges, as well as a reference for graduate students, teaching and research personnel, and engineering technicians in related fields.
