    Book: The Physics of Information
    By F. ALEXANDER BAIS AND J. DOYNE FARMER
    1
    The notion of information as used by Shannon is a generalization
    of the notion of entropy, which first appeared in thermodynamics.
    In thermodynamics entropy is an abstract quantity depending on
    heat and temperature whose interpretation is not obvious.
    . . . .
    It turns out that the concept of entropy or equivalently information
    is useful in many applications that have nothing to do with physics.

    It also turns out that thinking in these more general terms is useful
    for physics. For example, Shannon's work makes it clear that entropy
    is in some sense more fundamental than the quantities from which
    it was originally derived.

        you can also add : Srinivasa Ramanujan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

        In recognition of his contribution to mathematics, the Government of India declared in Dec 2011 to celebrate Ramanujan's birthday as 'National Mathematics Day' every year on 22 December and declared 2012 as the 'National Mathematical Year
        Personality and spiritual life

        Ramanujan has been described as a person with a somewhat shy and quiet disposition, a dignified man with pleasant manners.[79] He lived a rather Spartan life while at Cambridge. Ramanujan's first Indian biographers describe him as rigorously orthodox. Ramanujan credited his acumen to his family Goddess, Namagiri of Namakkal. He looked to her for inspiration in his work,[80] and claimed to dream of blood drops that symbolised her male consort, Narasimha, after which he would receive visions of scrolls of complex mathematical content unfolding before his eyes.[81] He often said, "An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God."[82][83]

        Hardy cites Ramanujan as remarking that all religions seemed equally true to him
