{"product_id":"science-and-information-theory-9780486497556","title":"Science and Information Theory","description":"A classic source for exploring the connections between information theory and physics, this text is geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. The author, a giant of twentieth-century mathematics, applies the principles of information theory to a variety of issues, including Maxwell's demon, thermodynamics, and measurement problems. \u003cbr\u003eAuthor Leon Brillouin begins by defining and applying the term \"information\" and proceeds to explorations of the principles of coding, coding problems and solutions, the analysis of signals, a summary of thermodynamics, thermal agitation and Brownian motion, and thermal noise in an electric circuit. A discussion of the negentropy principle of information introduces Brillouin's renowned examination of Maxwell's demon. Concluding chapters explore the associations between information theory, the uncertainty principle, and physical limits of observation, in addition to problems related to computing, organizing information, and inevitable errors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486497556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Leon Brillouin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637877207196,"sku":"9780486497556","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b4ef6b95-bc48-43b3-af16-a321a050c126.jpg?v=1603845911","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/science-and-information-theory-9780486497556","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
