Mathematical Foundations of Information Theory and garlandsThe first comprehensive introduction to information theory, this book places the work begun by Shannon and continued by McMillan, Feinstein, and Khinchin on a rigorous mathematical basis. For the first time, mathematicians, statisticians, physicists, cyberneticists, and communications engineers are offered a lucid, comprehensive introduction to this rapidly growing field. In his first paper, Dr. Khinchin develops the concept of entropy in probability
