There are no prerequisites. However, it is recommended for students to have notions of linear algebra and probabilities.
To study the mathematica theory of information, in the discrete case, based on the publications by C.E. Shannon on 1948. To study different data source, the source codification, the data compression and the codificationsof the channel, with the aim of obtaining an efficient data transmission an storage.
Basic concepts of information theory
Information measurement.
Shannon’s memoryless discrete source.
Entropy of a discrete random variable.
Mutual information between two discrete random variables. Channel capacity.

Decoding rules.
Source coding
Fixed and variable length codes, uniquely decodable codes, and instant codes.
Shannon's first theorem. Existence of optimal codes.
Construction of optimal codes: Huffman method.

Theoretical content will be taught through lectures, although students will be encouraged to actively participate in the resolution of examples, etc. These classes will be in face-to-face format, although it is also possible to provide videos posted on the CV. During problem sessions, a list of exercises will be resolved. Students are encouraged to solve the problems on their own in advance. Students will also be encouraged to present their own solutions in class.Campus Virtual will be used for communication between lecturers and students (material, updates, announcements, etc.).
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Continuous-assessment dates will be published on Campus Virtual and on the presentation slides, specific programming may change when necessary. Any such modification will always be communicated to students through Campus Virtual, which is the usual communication platform between lecturers and students.
The evaluation of the course, out of 10 points, will be made as follows:
The following activities cannot be recovered:
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, the evaluation activities (practices, problems or exams) with irregularities committed by a student that may lead to a variation of the grade will be graded in full of a zero (0). The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedurewill not be recoverable. If it is necessary to pass any of these evaluation activities to pass the course, it will be directly suspended, without the opportunity to recover it in the same course. These irregularities include, among others
To pass, it is necessary that the evaluation of each of the parts exceeds the minimum required and that the total evaluation exceeds 5 points. In case of not passing the course because any of the evaluation activities does not reach the minimum required grade, the numerical grade of the file will be the lower value between 4.5 and the weighted average of the grades. The designation 'not assessable' will be assigned to students who have not participated in any assessment activity. In the event that a student has committed an irregularity during one of the assessments, their final mark will be limited to the lowest value between 3.0 or the average calculated from their marks. This means that passing by grade compensation will not be an available option. In order to obtain a *MH the final grade must be equal to or higher than 9 points. Since the number of *MH cannot exceed 5% of the number of students enrolled, they will be awarded to whoever has the highest final grades. In case of a tie, the results of the midterm exams will be taken into account.
Partial tests will be taken into account. It is important to note that no evaluation activity will be done to any studentin a different schedule than the oneestablished if there is no justified cause,priornotice has been given in the activity and the faculty has given its consent. In any other case, if the student has not attended an activity, it cannot be made up. In the case of online evaluations of questionnaires, a review may be requested after the closing date of the questionnaire. For the rest of the evaluation activities, a place, date and time of review will be indicated in which the student can review the activity with the teacher. In this context, claims on the grade of the activity may be made, which will be evaluated by the faculty responsible for the subject. If the student does not show up for this review, the activity will not be reviewed afterwards.
