Description

This is an informal and nontechnical introduction for physicists. It is panoramic to let you see how
many problems in physics, mathematics, engineering, biology, brain science, economics, and linguistics could be solved by physicists who know what entropy and free energy are. Will also include basics of quantum information and black hole entropy.
Based on the recently published textbook
