Here is a paper that shows Coq proofs of two famous theorems by Shannon: the source compression rate of H(X) and the channel capacity of I(X,Y). https://staff.aist.go.jp/reynald.affeldt/documents/affeldt-i...

I wonder if simplified versions of these proofs couldn't be used with students. Right now it seems like too much details, but maybe there can be a common "stdlib" of standard math arguments that we assume to be true, and then focus on the specific machinery for each proof?
