What will I learn?
This Information Theory Course provides a quick, hands-on way to master entropy, fixed-length and prefix-free variable-length coding, and Huffman-style design. You'll model a 10-symbol log source, calculate compression efficiency, encode actual messages, and assess noisy channel impacts, error detection, error correction, and implementation trade-offs to create dependable, space-saving data systems.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design entropy-based codes: compute H, bits/symbol, and inefficiency fast.
- Build Huffman-style prefix codes: map symbols to optimal bitstrings quickly.
- Model text sources: estimate symbol probabilities from real English logs.
- Analyze noisy channels: quantify bit errors, error propagation, and BER.
- Balance compression and reliability: choose block sizes, redundancy, and tests.
