The author paves the way for <br /> readers to discover for themselves what entropy is, how it changes, and most <br /> importantly, why it always changes in one direction in a spontaneous process.<br /> <br /> Table Of Contents<br /> <br /> Preface ix<br /> 1 Introduction, and a Short History of the Second Law of Thermodynamics 1<br /> 2 A Brief Introduction to Probability Theory, Information Theory, and all the <br /> Rest 19<br /> 3 First Let Us Play with Real Dice 78<br /> 4 Let&rsquo;s Play with Simplified Dice and have a Preliminary Grasp of the Second Law <br /> 92<br /> 5 Experience the Second Law with all Your Five Senses 116<br /> 6 Finally, Grasp it with Your Common Sense 129<br /> 7 Translating from the Dice-World to the Real World 146<br /> 8 Reflections on the Status of the Second Law of Thermodynamics as a Law of <br /> Physics 186<br /> <br /> Product Details<br /> <br /> * ISBN: 9812700528<br /> * ISBN-13: 9789812700520<br /> * Format: Hardcover, 221pp<br /> * Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated<br /> * Pub.
