Information theory
Information theory is a discipline in applied mathematics involving the quantification of data with the goal of enabling as much data as possible to be reliably stored on a medium or communicated over a channel. The measure of data, known as information entropy, is usually expressed by the average number of bits needed for storage or communication.
