A Mathematical Theory of Communication
by Claude Shannon
1948
Number of pages: 79
Description:
The person who wrote this paper is the father of modern communication theory, Claude Shannon. In this seminal work Shannon presents results that were previously found nowhere else, and today many professors refer to it as the best exposition still on the subject of the mathematical limits on communication (such as bandwidth). Further, it laid the modern foundations for what is now coined Information Theory. Classic work.

Essential Coding Theory
by Venkatesan Guruswami, Atri Rudra, Madhu Sudan - University at Buffalo
Error-correcting codes are clever ways of representing data so that one can recover the original information even if parts of it are corrupted. The basic idea is to introduce redundancy so that the original information can be recovered ...
