Pseudorandom number generators

Entropy (computing)

In computing, entropy is the randomness collected by an operating system or application for use in cryptography or other uses that require random data. This randomness is often collected from hardware sources (variance in fan noise or HDD), either pre-existing ones such as mouse movements or specially provided randomness generators. A lack of entropy can have a negative impact on performance and security. (Wikipedia).

Physics - Thermodynamics 2: Ch 32.7 Thermo Potential (10 of 25) What is Entropy?

Visit http://ilectureonline.com for more math and science lectures! In this video explain and give examples of what is entropy. 1) entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder (randomness) of a system. 2) entropy is a measure of thermodynamic equilibrium. Low entropy implies heat flow t

Entropy is NOT About Disorder

Entropy is often taught as a measure of how disordered or how mixed up a system is, but this definition never really sat right with me. How is "disorder" defined and why is one way of arranging things any more disordered than another? It wasn't until much later in my physics career that I

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 10.0 --- The formula for entropy

In this video I present the formula for the entropy of a random variable that takes values in a finite set, prove that it satisfies the entropy axioms, and prove that it is the only formula that satisfies the entropy axioms. 0:00 The formula for entropy and proof that it satisfies the ax

A better description of entropy

I use this stirling engine to explain entropy. Entropy is normally described as a measure of disorder but I don't think that's helpful. Here's a better description. Visit my blog here: http://stevemould.com Follow me on twitter here: http://twitter.com/moulds Buy nerdy maths things here:

Entropy (for data science) Clearly Explained!!!

Entropy is a fundamental concept in Data Science because it shows up all over the place - from Decision Trees, to similarity metrics, to state of the art dimension reduction algorithms. It's also surprisingly simple, but often poorly explained. Traditionally the equation is presented with

Teach Astronomy - Entropy of the Universe

http://www.teachastronomy.com/ The entropy of the universe is a measure of its disorder or chaos. If the laws of thermodynamics apply to the universe as a whole as they do to individual objects or systems within the universe, then the fate of the universe must be to increase in entropy.
