Thanks for that! I meant Shannons information theory. And I just wanted to know the favourites of many people so that I can consolidate and get a book that most prefer. And I won't complain it on others, I am willing to take the best even from the least.

I need a book on advanced information theory. It should be more towards computers and communication than theoritical physics. It would also be great if some one could suggest books on probability, optimization, curve fitting and modelling. So, mathematicians here, tell me your favourites.
