SUMMARY:What is Entropy?
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS ENTROPY? \n“Entropy is disorder.”\nYou’ve learned this from popular culture\, you’ve learned this in your physical science\, chemistry\, or biology class.\nBut what does that *mean*? We have an intuitive sense for what “disorder” is\, but how do you really define it rigorously for a scientific concept? \nThere are two ways to approach it; one is as a term in thermodynamic equations\, the other is as a fundamental concept from statistical mechanics (on which thermodynamics is based). \nIn this talk\, I will try to convey the true fundamental definition of entropy at a level that anybody can understand. We will roll dice\, we will talk about how physical systems can be more “ordered” or “disordered” in a rigorous sense\, and hopefully we will shed some light on what entropy really is. \nPodcast Interview with Rob \n  \n— Rob Knop  \nHomepage \nBlog \nPrevious work in the Library \nPrevious work in the Film Collection
