In this indispensable volume, a primer for the information age, Hans Christian von Baeyer presents a clear description of what information is, how concepts of its measurement, meaning, and transmission evolved, and what its ever-expanding presence portends for the future.Information is poised to replace matter as the primary stuff of the universe, von Baeyer suggests; it will provide a new basic framework for describing and predicting reality in the twenty-first century. Despite its revolutionary premise, von Baeyer's book is written simply in a straightforward fashion, offering a wonderfully accessible introduction to classical and quantum information. Enlivened with anecdotes from the lives of philosophers, mathematicians, and scientists who have contributed significantly to the field, Information conducts readers from questions of subjectivity inherent in classical information to the blurring of distinctions between computers and what they measure or store in our quantum age. A great advance in our efforts to define and describe the nature of information, the book also marks an important step forward in our ability to exploit information--and, ultimately, to transform the nature of our relationship with the physical universe.Lingua: inglesePaese di origine: USAltezza: 210mmLunghezza: 140mmLarghezza: 19mmTitle Format: Paperback: 01/11/2005Informazioni mancanti?Non esitare a contattarci se mancano informazioni su questo articolo: provvederemo a verificare ed aggiungerle., Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Title: Information, Titolo: Information, Subtítulos: The New Language of Science, Autore: Hans Christian von Baeyer, Formato: Tascabile, ISBN-10: 0674018575, EAN: 9780674018570, Genere: Language & Reference, Data di pubblicazione: 01/11/2005, Anno di pubblicazione: 2005, Lingua: inglese, Paese di origine: US, Altezza: 210mm, Lunghezza: 140mm, Larghezza: 19mm, Harvard University Press<
