Description:
The aim of this book is to provide an overview of current work addressing this topic of research that explores the geometric structures of information and entropy. We hope that this vast survey on the geometric structure of information and entropy will motivate readers to go further and explore the emerging domain of 'Science of Information'.

Essential Coding Theoryby 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 ...
