Some Information-Theoretic Anagrams.
3rd Shannon Memorial Lecture (UCSD, 4/29/05)
McEliece's group does research related to the reliable storage and transmission of information. The general goals are to develop theoretical performance analyses of existing and proposed storage/transmission systems, and to design new higher-performance systems. The tools needed to do this research are highly mathematical, and include probability, algebra, combinatorics, and information theory.
