[ Abstract ]
This talk will provide an overview of a mini-course to be taught in January 2026 at the University of Tokyo, aimed at describing how Shannon entropy, a tool that was originally developed for and motivated by a rigorous mathematical analysis of communications engineering, later led to developments that can to some extent be viewed as taking place in a converse direction, where Shannon entropy provided insight into central basic questions in several fields of pure mathematics.
