The book introduces the concept of frustration and discusses the question of the quantification of this concept within information theory (IT), while it also focuses on the interpretation of the entropy of systems of interacting particles in terms of the SMI and of mutual information.

Arieh Ben-Naim is a professor emeritus at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Department of Physical Chemistry. Most of his research work was focused on the theory of water, aqueous solutions and the role of water in biochemical processes. Recently, the author dedicated his time explaining and clarifying to the general public the most mysterious concept in physics: Entropy. He is the author of many books and articles on Entropy, the Second Law and Information Theory.

Introduction and Caveats.- Intermolecular interactions, correlations, and Mutual Information.- Application of Multivariate Mutual Information to study spin systems.- Entropy of Mixing and Entropy of Assimilation, an Informational Theoretical Approach.- Information transmission between molecules in binding systems.- Calculations of the “best-guess” probability distribution using Shannon’s Measure of Information.
