A Few Project Ideas
                       ___________________

1. If you know how, can make Java programs to demonstrate 
   some of the encodings we've learned and will learn like

       Shannon-Fano
       Huffman
       parity check codes

2. Biology - the idea of DNA as an information source

3. Finance - applications of information theory to market 
   investment strategy. Cover's theory of "universal portfolios".

4. Explain adaptive source coding strategies

5. Psychology - How much "information" is in an experiment?

6. Music - the information content of a musical score, or
   perhaps analyzing a score as a Markov source

7. Text compression - redo Shannon's classic experiment on 
   some new corpus

8. Modems - the error correction used in current modem technology

9. Space transmission - the error correction used in sending 
   the Pathfinder pictures from Mars
