Concepts of Information Theory
Keywords: Information theory, statistical mechanics, Boltzmann's law, statistical free energy
Contents
Caution!
This unit is under development. There is some contents here but it is incomplete and/or may change significantly: links may lead to nowhere, the contents is likely going to be rearranged, and objectives, deliverables etc. may be incomplete or missing. Do not work with this material until it is updated to "live" status.
Abstract
... with perspectives on statistical mechanics, Boltzmann's law and the calculation of statistical "free energy".
This unit ...
Prerequisites
You need the following preparation before beginning this unit. If you are not familiar with this material from courses you took previously, you need to prepare yourself from other information sources:
- Calculus: functions and equations; polynomial functions, logarithms, trigonometric functions; integrals and derivatives; theorem and proof.
- Geometry: length, area, volume; Euclidian and non-Euclidian space.
- Probability: event, probability, hypothesis and significance.
- Physical chemistry: Kinetics and equilibria, transition states, chemical reactions; enthalpy, entropy and free energy; acid-base equilibria, Boltzmann's law.
You need to complete the following units before beginning this one:
Objectives
...
Outcomes
...
Deliverables
- Time management: Before you begin, estimate how long it will take you to complete this unit. Then, record in your course journal: the number of hours you estimated, the number of hours you worked on the unit, and the amount of time that passed between start and completion of this unit.
- Journal: Document your progress in your course journal.
- Insights: If you find something particularly noteworthy about this unit, make a note in your insights! page.
Evaluation
Evaluation: NA
- This unit is not evaluated for course marks.
Contents
Task:
- Read the introductory notes on concepts of Shannon's theory of information as applied in bioinformatics.

Notes
Self-evaluation
If in doubt, ask! If anything about this learning unit is not clear to you, do not proceed blindly but ask for clarification. Post your question on the course mailing list: others are likely to have similar problems. Or send an email to your instructor.
