  Information theory
van der Lubbe J., Hoeue H. (trans.), Gee S. (trans.), Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 1997.  Type: Book (9780521467605)

Though the Dutch version of this book was published in 1988, with minor exceptions it could have been written in the 1960s. Its claim of presenting current applications is grossly exaggerated. The material is all standard fare, seen ma...

Rorabaugh presents error control coding at the elementary level. This is the first book on this subject to include a disk with C/C++ routines for the encoding and decoding. The theory is simplified and compressed, so the book should be...

  Generalized success-breeds-success principle leading to time-dependent informetric distributions
Egghe L., Rousseau R. Journal of the American Society for Information Science 46(6): 426-445, 1995.  Type: Article

Oswald J., Ellis Horwood, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1991.  Type: Book (9780132087520)

The original French edition of this work was published in 1986. The title is unusual for a book on information theory, and its cryptic quality is symptomatic of the problems that will make the contents obscure for most readers. Oswald ...
