Good foundation

Me too Jason. This book impressed a 17 year old student enough to have him drag it around for thirty years. I hope Colleges and Universities look to a course like this becoming a requirement and not an elective. What this book shows has allowed me, over the years, to sharpen my thinking to a fine edge.

Outstanding Overview

I first used this book in my freshman electrical engineering course and have kept it next to my desk through graduate school, my tenure at Bell Labs, and in my current practice. It is an excellent and unusually clear introduction to a wide variety of topics in mathematics, computer science, and information theory. I highly recommend this book.
