This document discusses classical information theory and concepts like entropy. It defines entropy as quantifying the apparent disorder of particles in a room. Different examples of sequences are provided, from a highly ordered repeating sequence to a more random typical sequence. Functions are defined to calculate the string length and characters of a given sequence. The document also shows how to calculate the entropy of a sequence and compares the results of different entropy calculation functions.

Unit 3: Classical information
- 2. Classical Information Theory Entropy is defined to quantify the apparent disorder of a room with particles Statistical information on the average behaviour A way to study particles is by using symbols forming objects such as sequences or messages
- 3. Classical Information Theory Looks highly ordered: s = 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 1
