Description
Leon Brillouin's Science and Information Theory explores the connections between information theory and physics, making it an ideal resource for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students.
The author applies the principles of information theory to various issues, including Maxwell's demon, thermodynamics, and measurement problems. He begins by defining and applying the term "information" before delving into explorations of coding, signal analysis, and thermodynamics.
Brillouin also examines the negentropy principle of information, which introduces his renowned examination of Maxwell's demon. The book concludes with discussions on the associations between information theory, the uncertainty principle, and physical limits of observation, as well as problems related to computing and organizing information.
