M. T. S. S. (Mathematical Theory of Communication)

The Mathematical Theory of Communication, developed by Claude Shannon, studies how information is transmitted, processed, and received effectively. It uses math to analyze how messages travel through channels like phone lines or the internet, considering factors like noise that can cause errors. The goal is to find ways to encode messages efficiently, maximize clarity, and reduce errors during transmission. This theory provides the foundation for modern digital communication, ensuring data is sent quickly and accurately, whether through emails, streaming videos, or satellite signals. It helps us understand and improve the reliability of how information moves across various mediums.
