"This title contains information"
How can we mathematically test the claim made in the title? In this talk, we will learn about Claude Shannon's entropy and determine if it gives us the best measure of informativeness. If you can picture the graph of a logarithm, you are well prepared.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
