ABSTRACT
has an introductory character and introduces the reader to the circle of the most general methodology questions of classical Signal Theory and Information Theory. Brief analysis of general concepts, notions, and ideas of Natural Science, Signal Theory and Information Theory is carried out. Chapter 1 considers a general system of notions and principles of modern research methodology in Natural Science, and also a particular system of notions of selected research direction (both Signal Processing Theory and Information Theory). The relations between Information Theory and Natural Sciences are shortly discussed. Chapter 1 considers methodological foundations of classical Signal Theory and Information Theory. Theoretical difficulties within Signal Theory and Information Theory are shown. In this chapter, we outline the ways of logical troubles overcoming in both theories. Chapter 1 is finished with the book principal concept formulation.
