Features: Information Theory and Coding is a mandatory professional basic course for postgraduate students in electronic information, communication, and electronic science, among other majors, in universities both domestically and internationally. Some institutions also include it as a professional basic course in the entrance examination for Ph.D. students. Although the course names and content organization may vary across institutions, they all revolve around Shannon's Information Theory as their core. This book serves as a supplementary teaching material for the course on Information Theory and Coding, aiming to provide guidance and assistance for postgraduate students' learning. It is also the sister volume to the undergraduate book "Learning Guide and Solutions to Exercises in Information Theory and Coding." This book focuses on Shannon's Information Theory as its core content while also covering topics such as source coding, error-correcting codes, and network information theory. The book is divided into 8 chapters, each consisting of three parts: basic content and key points, detailed solutions to exercises, and selected exercise answers. The basic content and key points section provides a concise summary of the knowledge points in each chapter, while the other two sections offer detailed derivations and solutions to selected exercises. The exercises selected for this book are directly taken from classic textbooks in the field, both domestic and international. The book is characterized by clear concepts, detailed solutions, multiple approaches to solving problems, and ease of self-study. The exercises in the book are of medium to advanced difficulty, demonstrating broad applicability and representativeness, making them suitable for postgraduate studies. Therefore, this book is not limited to a single textbook; it can be used alongside various versions of similar textbooks. This book is suitable for reference by teachers and postgraduate students in communication, information, electronic, and related fields in higher education institutions, as well as for professionals studying foundational theories in their respective fields.
