The Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude E Shannon

The Mathematical Theory of Communication by Claude E Shannon

Shannon's major precept, that all communication is essentially digital, is commonplace among the digitalia that many wonder why Shannon needed to state such an obvious axiom.

"A beautiful example of a theory that unifies hitherto separate branches of physical science, and DrWeaver makes important suggestions as to how this unity may be extended to include semantics and pragmatics."--Philosophical Review
"Readers who are interested in language, communication, meaning, and related problems will find this monograph rewarding."--Quarterly Review of Biology
 
"This book cannot be ignored by anyone with direct professional concern with these applications and many applied physicists without this concern should, like the reviewer, find the book absorbing."--S. Whitehead, British Journal of Applied Physics

Claude E. Shannon was a research mathematician at the Bell Telephone Laboratories and Donner professor of science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Warren Weaver had a distinguished academic, government, and foundation career. Both authors received numerous awards and honors.
