Presents an introduction to the theory of algebraic curves over a finite field, a subject that has applications in areas such as finite geometry, number theory, error-correcting codes, and cryptology. This book emphasizes the algebraic geometry rather than the function field approach to algebraic curves.

Provides surveys of the uses and concepts of entropy in diverse areas of mathematics and the physical sciences. This book starts by providing basic concepts and terminology, illustrated by examples from both the macroscopic and microscopic lines of thought. In-depth surveys covering the macroscopic, microscopic and probabilistic approaches follow.
