The Physics of Noise

For a physicist, «noise» is not just about sounds, but refers to any random physical process that blurs measurements, and in so doing stands in the way of scientific knowledge.

This book deals with the most common types of noise, their properties, and some of their unexpected virtues. The text explains the most useful mathematical concepts related to noise. Finally, the book aims at making this subject more widely known and to stimulate the interest for its study in young physicists.
