The Mathematical Theory of CommunicationClaude E Shannon Warren WeaverLabel: University of Illinois PressDescription: Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication published originally as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter it has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings. It is a revolutionary work astounding in its foresight and contemporaneity. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic.
