Quantum Chaotic Thoughts: The Entropy Zoo

http://masonporter.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-entropy-zoo.html

My name is Mason Porter. I am Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I am also a Tutorial Fellow of Somerville College. Monday, August 03, 2015. I am going through the draft of a chapter that includes a survey of similarity measures (and I'll need to see if an appropriate survey exists, as we should use this material to help write one if it doesn't), and the appearance of information-theoretic measures naturally made me think of the Entropy Zoo.

Quantum Chaotic Thoughts: Water Phase Diagram: Stop, Collaborate, and Listen

http://masonporter.blogspot.com/2015/08/water-phase-diagram-stop-collaborate.html

My name is Mason Porter. I am Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I am also a Tutorial Fellow of Somerville College. Friday, August 07, 2015. Water Phase Diagram: Stop, Collaborate, and Listen. Clearly, I need to use XKCD's water phase diagram. The next time I am teaching statistical physics. When my students are too loud, I'll tell them to stop, collaborate, and listen. Also notice the really great pun. At the bottom. I really love that!
