Introduction into the Basics of Information Theory

Series on the basics of classic info. theory (C. Shannon's sender-receiver model, stat. thermodyn. (bits/entropy), Markov chains, language as a stochastic process). The series is part of a student journal project (Berlin Exchange Medicine) and is supposed to provide basic knowledge for a better access to advanced methods applied in, e.g., comp. neuroscience. Mathematically it mostly covers/replicates the first 12-13 pages of "A mathematical theory of communication" by C. Shannon.
