Entropy and Information Optics : Connecting Information and Time, Second Edition.
"This book shows there is a profound connection between information and entropy. Without this connection, information would be more difficult to apply to science. This book covers the connection and the application to modern optics and radar imaging. It shows that there exists a profound relati...
