Reading

You should have finished reading at least through Chapter 7 of the Gleick book by now.

Writinging Assignment

Write a one-page summary (approximately 250 words) of Chapter 7. One page is an interesting length for this essay: it’s too short to cover the whole chapter, but it’s long enough that you have to say something substantive to fill up the page.

In one page, you should be able to explain key concepts from the chapter: identify the most important people discussed, when they did their work, and why they were important; explain the key definitions and terms related to information theory, including entropy, communication, and redundancy.

Pay attention to the structure of your writing so that the pargraphs relate to each other in an organized way.
