Creators
Description
A self-contained exposition of the mathematical theory of entropy is presented. Those parts of probability theory which are necessary for an understanding of the central topics concerning entropy are included. The last four chapters give a description of those parts of information theory, ergodic theory, statistical mechanics, and topological dynamics which are most affected by entropy
