Meer over het boek

Focusing on the concept of missing information, the author critiques the traditional principle of maximum entropy and offers a fresh perspective. He traces the historical development of temperature and entropy, linking them to disorder and missing information. The book covers fundamental probability theory and information theory, detailing concepts like missing information and the average number of binary questions for its acquisition. Additionally, it delves into the foundations of statistical thermodynamics and includes practical applications, such as ideal gas expansion, along with useful appendices on related topics.
