www.cl.cam.ac.ukComputer Science Tripos Part II, Michaelmas Term 11 lectures by J G Daugman 1. Overview: What is Information Theory? Key idea: The movements and transformations of information, just like those of a uid, are constrained by mathematical and physical laws. These laws have deep connections with: probability theory, statistics, and combinatorics

The importance of the entropy, and its use as a measure of information, derives from the following properties: 1. HX≥ 0. 2. HX= 0 if and only if the random variable Xis certain, which means that Xtakes one value with probability one. 3.

Mathematical probability began its development in Renaissance Europe when mathe-maticians such as Pascal and Fermat started to take an interest in understanding games of chance. Indeed, one can develop much of the subject simply by questioning ...
Sample Space, Events and Probability
faculty.math.illinois.eduFor any event E, we refer to P(E) as the probability of E. Here are some examples. Example 8 Tossing a fair coin. In this case, the probability measure is given by P(H) = P(T) = 1 2. If the coin is not fair, the probability measure will be di erent. Example 9 Tossing a fair die. In this case, the probability measure is given by P(1) = P(2 ...
