A true classic This is a definitive text written by quite possibly the greatest information theorist this country has produced, next to Claude Shannon. The author is personally responsible for some of the most central results in the field for the last forty years.Gallager's book was the standard text in the field for m. Masterpiece. There is a reason this book is a classic. A Customer Much like Wozencraft and Jacobs book (Principles of communication engineering which blows away the best textboks of today by Sklar and Proakis), this book was written in traditional style. Gallager's masterpiece was written in the golden era prior to the unfortunate "new math" revolution which occured in. Good Introductory Material for information theory A Customer This book on information theory, written in the classic Gallager style, clear, lucid and simple, is good material for a person who requires an introduction to Information theory. It requires a working knowledge of probability theory. Once this criterion is satisfied, this book is easy to understand, and
