Abstract

We will see that Shannon entropy arises naturally from the problem of efficiently representing the outcome of a probabilistic experiment as a string of bits. We will review entropic quantities such as relative entropy, conditional entropy and mutual information, and relate them to notions such as the rate of growth of the number of typical sequences and asymptotic limits on the rate of information transmission across a noisy channel.
