Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 31, No. 140 (Oct., 1977), pp. 848-872 (25 pages) A family of difference schemes solving the Cauchy problem for quasi-linear equations is studied. This family contains ...

Journal of Computational Mathematics, Vol. 35, No. 2 (March 2017), pp. 121-151 (31 pages) The Entropy-Ultra-Bee scheme was developed for the linear advection equation and extended to the Euler system ...

If you start with a very specific state, for example a box full of balls that are sorted exactly by colour, then if you shake the box a little, a higher entropy mixed state will develop over time.

For a technical scientific term, entropy is pretty popular. I mean, it was the title of an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, after all. Search the Internet for “entropy” quotes and you’ll find them ...

I recently led a webinar on the laws of thermodynamics, which got me thinking: A business is very much a closed system, such as a universe. Therefore, if entropy is always increasing in a closed ...
