Noise theory and application to physics : from fluctuations to information This is a unique approach to noise theory and its application to physical measurements that will find its place among the graduate course books. In a very systematic way the foundations are laid and applied in a way that the book will also be useful to those not focusing on optics. Exercises and solutions help students to deepen their knowledge TOC:Introduction Fluctuations and Covariance Limit Theorem and Fluctuations Information and Fluctuations Thermodynamic Fluctuations Classical Statistics Estimation Estimation Examples in Physics Bibliography Index
