+====== COSC 6222 :: Coding and Information Theory  ======
-===== Description  =====
+This course introduces students to the fundamentals of information theory, as well as methods for achieving information-theoretic results using source codes and channel codes. Students will learn Shannon's source coding and channel coding theorems, as well as the mathematical machinery required to prove these and other information theoretic results. Students will also be exposed to source coding techniques, as well as channel coding techniques for state-of-the-art systems. Advanced topics such as multiterminal (Slepian-Wolf) source coding and rateless codes will also be covered, time permitting.
-The course lays the conceptual foundation of object-oriented programming. It covers delegation and contracts, encapsulation and API programming, aggregation and the collections framework, inheritance and polymorphism, all from the client's perspective.
