5/3 If I want to learn about error correction, compression, and cryto,
which class would I take? crypto? _/
\_ Info theory at Stanford. Berkeley does not teach ugrad info theory.
\_ Information theory. Read Thomas & Cover. There is an information
theory class using that book at Stanford. Berkeley does not
teach information theory to undergrads.
\_ 170 talks about the basics of both, 150 has some error correction
too. specifics?
\_ Crypto classes: 261 (well, security), 276 (protocol-level), and this
semester Wagner taught a 294 which was block-cypher level. Even
though I've managed not to pay any attention to 174, I remember
somebody saying something about entropy, so likely has to do
something with compression and/or random number generation.

\_ "managed not to pay any attention to 174". Okey dokey, now
who was making noise before about the best Cal ugrads not
getting into Cal grad school?
\_ Not best. Schmooziest. Big difference.
\_ if you were as good as chialea, wouldn't you be bored
by 174? --chialea #1 fan
\_ several EE courses discuss compression (the multimedial related
signal/image processing courses)
\_ depending on the prof, Math 114 often covers coding theory, and
error-correcting codes. - rory |
