Course Objective This course aims to study basic and advanced topics in information theory. The course focuses on the concept of information theory, including entropy, source coding, channel capacity, rate distortion theory, and differential entropy, ...etc. The calculation of channel capacity and rate distortion will be used as computer projects for real implementation. Advanced topics will further cover Gaussian channel and some coding theory.

Course Schedule Week 1(2/20). Introduction Week 2(2/27). Review of Random Variables Week 3(3/5). Entropy Week 4(3/12). Joint Entropy/Conditional Entropy Week 5(3/19). Relative Entropy/Mutual Information Week 6(3/26). Jensen’s and Fano's Inequality Week 7(4/2). Data compression (I) Week 8(4/9). Data compression (II) Week 9(4/16). Data compression (III) Week 10(4/23). Midterm Week 11(4/30). Channel capacity (I) Week 12(5/7). Channel capacity (II) Week 13(5/14). Channel capacity (III) Week 14(5/21). Rate Distortion Theory (I) Week 15(5/28). Rate Distortion Theory (II) Week 16(6/4). Rate Distortion Theory (III) Week 17(6/11). Differential entropy Week 18(6/18). Final term
