Résumé

Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace—but few books have had as lasting as impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Communication, published originally in part as a paper on communication theory in the Bell System Technical Journal 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, astounding in its contemporaneity. The University of Illinois Press is pleased and honored to issue this commemorative reprinting of a classic.
Claude E. Shannon is retired from his position as research mathematician at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. From 1958 to 1978 he was also Donner Professor of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Warren Weaver, now deceased, had a distinguished career in academic. government, and foundation work. Richard E. Blahut and Bruce Hajek are professors of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
