The Mathematical Theory of Communication, Volume 1Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago.

The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic. |
