American information theorists are researchers and scholars in the field of information theory, a branch of applied mathematics and electrical engineering that deals with the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The field was founded by Claude Shannon in the mid-20th century through his landmark 1948 paper, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," which established the foundational principles of information theory. Key concepts developed in this field include: 1. **Entropy**: A measure of the uncertainty or randomness of information content.
