We study the global picture of the metric entropy on the space of expanding Blaschke products. We first construct a smooth path in the space tending to a parabolic Blaschke product. We prove that the metric entropy on this path tends to 0 as the path tends to this parabolic Blaschke product. It turns out that the limiting parabolic Blaschke product on the unit circle is conjugate to the famous Boole map on the real line. Thus we can give a new explanation of Boole's formula discovered more than one hundred and fifty years ago. We modify the first smooth path to get a second smooth path in the space of expanding Blaschke products. The second smooth path tends to a totally degenerate map. We see that the first and second smooth paths have completely different asymptotic behaviors near the boundary of the space of expanding Blaschke products. However, they represent the same smooth path in the space of all smooth conjugacy classes of expanding Blaschke products. We use this to give a complete description of the global graph of the metric entropy on the space of expanding Blaschke products. We prove that the global graph looks like a bell. It is the first result to show a global picture of the metric entropy on a space of hyperbolic dynamical systems. We apply our results to the measure-theoretic entropy of a quadratic polynomial with respect to its Gibbs measure on its Julia set. We prove that the measure-theoretic entropy on the main cardioid of the Mandelbrot set is a real analytic function and asymptotically zero near the boundary.
