"This monograph originated with a course, of lectures on information theory which I gave at Cornell, Univeristy during the academic year 1958-1959. It has no, pretensions to exhaustiveness, and indeed, no pretensions at, all. Its purpose is to provide, for mathematicians of some, maturity, an easy introduction to the ideas and principals, known theorems of a certain body of coding theory." "Jacob, Wolfowitz (March 19, 1910 – July 16, 1981) was a Polish-born, American statistician and Shannon Award-winning information, theorist. He was the father of former United States Deputy, Secretary of Defense and World Bank Group President Paul, Wolfowitz....Wolfowitz's main contributions were in the fields, of statistical decision theory, non-parametric statistics,, sequential analysis, and information theory. One of his results, is the strong converse to Claude Shannon's coding theorem., While Shannon could prove only that the block error probability, can not become arbitrarily small if the transmission rate is, above the channel capacity, Wolfowitz proved that the block, error rate actually converges to one. As a consequence,, Shannon's original result is today termed "the weak theorem", (sometimes also Shannon's "conjecture" by some authors)."
