... “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” was to study the theoretical limits on the transmission of information from point A (the source) to point B (the receiver) through an intervening medium (the channel). The information is imagined first to be encoded in some manner before being sent through the channel...

... is a term that is used extensively in the complex media literature. There are actually three notions of handedness of interest in electromagnetics, as this chapter shows. complex media handedness electromagnetics Maxwell equations chirality geometry mathematical theory In recent years technology has...

...The uniform distribution characterization of Benford's law is the most basic and powerful of all characterizations, largely because the mathematical theory of uniform distribution modulo one is very well developed for authoritative surveys. This chapter records and develops tools from that theory...

... Department of Mathematical & Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, and School of Mathematics, Georgia Institute of Technology. This chapter embarks on a brief discussion of the mathematical theory of Benford's law. This law is the observation that in many collections of numbers...

...This chapter provides an introduction to the use of quantitative theories in historical sociology. It first explains why we need a mathematical theory in history before making a case for historical dynamics as a research program, with emphasis on the important role of mathematical models. Using...
