Entropy, Information, and the Arrow of Time

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

We shall investigate the relationships between the thermodynamic entropy and information theory and the implications that can be drawn for the arrow of time. This demands a careful study of classical thermodynamics and a review of its fundamental concepts. The statistical mechanical properties of time-dependent systems will be carefully studied, and the point at which the arrow of time appears will be described.
