ALL RELEVANT COURSE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE AT THE WEBSITE: https://courses.engr.illinois.edu/ece563/fa2022/ COURSE TEXTBOOK: COVER AND THOMAS, Information Theory, AND MANY ONLINE RESOURCES Information theory has been used with spectacular success in communication theory, for storage systems of all kinds, for quantization and compression, error control coding, in biology and physics. It has very close ties with statistics, complexity theory, machine learning, quantum, statistical and black hole physics, molecular computing etc. But one approach does not work for all areas and modifications are required.
