Tão importante quanto o transístor: A Entropia da Informação

In this video, I discuss information entropy, a revolutionary concept inspired by Boltzmann's concept of statistical entropy. Claude Shannon established the foundations of Information Theory and adapted the concept of entropy (Shannon's Entropy or Information Entropy) to measure a quantity of information. Without Shannon's theory, digital communication would not have emerged! • Follow Verve Científica on social media: instagram.com/Verve.Cientifica facebook.com/VerveCientifica e-mail: [email protected] The Verve Científica project is supported by the Federal University of São Paulo (ICT-UNIFESP) through its university extension program.
