A.
A Mathematical Theory of Communication
chosen
A Mathematical Theory of Communication is Claude Shannon’s landmark 1948 paper that founded information theory by rigorously defining concepts like information, entropy, and channel capacity.
-
B.
An Introduction to Information Theory: Symbols, Signals and Noise
An Introduction to Information Theory: Symbols, Signals and Noise is a classic, accessible textbook that explains the fundamental concepts of information theory, communication, and coding for a broad scientific and engineering audience.
-
C.
1928 paper "Certain Topics in Telegraph Transmission Theory"
The 1928 paper "Certain Topics in Telegraph Transmission Theory" is a foundational work in information theory and communications engineering in which Harry Nyquist established key principles relating bandwidth, signaling rate, and error-free data transmission.
-
D.
The Computer as a Communication Device
"The Computer as a Communication Device" is a seminal 1968 essay by J.C.R. Licklider that envisioned interactive, networked computing as a medium for human collaboration and communication, foreshadowing the modern internet.
