Outline (in English)

Information theory is the foundation of technologies used for computer information processing and information exchange through the Internet, mobile phones, and the like. In the future advanced information society, it is very important to acquire the foundation of information theory, that is, information theory thinking method no matter what kind of occupation. In this lecture, we will learn the basics of information theory such as information quantity and entropy, model of information source, coding, error correction, encryption, starting from the basis of binary number and probability/statistics.

Learning Objectives:
In information theory, which is the foundation of the advanced information society, students will understand how the concept of information is mathematically defined and how it is mathematically treated to be used as applied technology in the real world. Specifically, the objectives of this course are to understand stochastic events, to be able to calculate probabilities under given conditions, to understand the definition of information quantity (entropy), and to understand basic coding and encryption methods.


Grading Criteria /Policy:
Review is more important than preparation because reviewing and revising within a day will increase your memory.


Grading Criteria /Policy:
A final exam will be given at the end of the semester. Students can bring in paper-based materials (notebooks, textbooks, and other notes on paper). The use of a functional calculator is also permitted. Even if you don't attend the class even once and don't take notes in the lecture, you will be given credit depending on your performance in the exam.
(In some cases, you will be required to submit reports on your assignments: for example, when we are unable to perform a regular exam due to corona preparation.)
