Abstract: This preprint is an exploration in how a single mathematical idea– entropy– can be applied to redistricting in a number of ways. It’s meant to be read not so much as a call to action for entropy, but as a case study illustrating one of the many ways math can inform our thinking on redistricting problems. This preprint was prepared as a chapter in the forthcoming edited volume Political Geometry, an interdisciplinary collection of essays on redistricting.
