Learning the basic notions and results of the mathematical theory of information for classical systems
Course Prerequisites
The knowledge of the basic mathematical tools, typically learned during the BSc courses, is required.
Teaching Methods
On account of the theoretical and mathematical nature of the course, all classes will be given at the blackboard and all topics of the programme will be discussed.
Assessment Methods
L'esame consta di una sola prova orale per valutare l'apprendimento degli argomenti trattati a lezione. Particolare enfasi sarà data alla verifica delle capacità dello studente di applicare e rielaborare i concetti appresi durante il corso.
