NOTES
In Process Record
Probe the link between entropy and coding. In the process, encounter Shannon’s first fundamental theorem, which specifies how far information can be squeezed in a binary code, serving as the basis for data compression. See how this works with a text such as Conan Doyle’s The Return of Sherlock Holmes
