Information theory definitely requires probability background, but it's worth it for how much it enriches your perspective on the universe. <br /><br />Regards,<br />MaxMax Damahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12948829617916062149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3965329713014965566.post-23587761224891851702009-05-29T19:42:38.837-07:002009-05-29T19:42:38.837-07:00The Mackay book "expects familiarity with calculus, probability theory, and linear algebra."
