It explains the fundamental differences between entropy and Shannon’s Measure of Information (SMI), presents the application of information theory to living systems and psychology, and also discusses the role of entropy in art. It critically overviews the definition of correlations and multivariate mutual information.These notions are used to build a new perspective for understanding the irreversibility of processes in macroscopic systems, while the dynamical laws governing the microscopic components are reversible. It also delves into the use of mutual information in linguistics, cryptography, steganography, and communication systems. The book details the theoretical and practical aspects of information theory across a spectrum of disciplines and is a useful tool for any scientist interested in what is usually called entropy. 0aData structures (Computer science).966708 0aInformation theory.957783 0aThermodynamics.966400 0aChemistry, Physical and theoretical.965282 0aProbabilities.96572414aData Structures and Information Theory.96670924aThermodynamics.96640024aTheoretical Chemistry.96661924aProbability Theory.9674281 aDufour, Claude.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9887632 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303167746508iPrinted edition:z978303167748908iPrinted edition:z978303167749640uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-67747-2  aZDB-2-PHA  aZDB-2-SXP  c65619d65619
