This excellent treatment of the mathematical theory of entropy gives an accessible exposition of the ways in which this idea has been applied to information theory, ergodic theory, topological dynamics and statistical mechanics. Scientists who want a quick understanding of how entropy is applied in disciplines not their own, or simply desire a better understanding of the mathematical foundation of the entropy function will find this to be a valuable book.Martin, Nathaniel F. G. is the author of 'Mathematical Theory of Entropy', published 1984 under ISBN 9780521302326 and ISBN 0521302323.
