Entropy measures disorder or randomness in a system, originating in thermodynamics and extending to information theory. It quantifies uncertainty, helping data scientists compress data, physicists predict energy dispersal, and engineers optimize processes. Businesses benefit from analyzing entropy in financial markets or cybersecurity, while researchers use it to understand complex systems from molecules to ecosystems.
