I am on Chapter 4, haven’t looked at exercises yet. Up to here, it was relatively easy to follow if you have some prob/stats background. Exposition is sometimes a bit dry (though exercises probably give more substence) but overall I did learn some interesting stuff, like Asymptomatic Equipartition Property and Entropy Rates for Stoch. Systems. My main motivation is to learn connections to Thermodynamics and entropy etc for continuous rv which hasn’t come yet but is in the book.
