| Abstract
|
:
|
Deals with the thermodynamical concept of entropy and its relationship to information theory. This book explains the universality of the term 'Entropy' not only as a physical phenomenon, but reveals its existence also in other domains. It is suitable for physicists, information-theorists, biologists, and artists.
