Abstract: Topological entropy ${h_d}(T)$ is defined for a uniformly continuous map on a metric space. General statements are proved about this entropy, and it is calculated for affine maps of Lie groups and certain homogeneous spaces. We compare ${h_d}(T)$ with measure theoretic entropy $h(T)$; in particular $h(T) = {h_d}(T)$ for Haar measure and affine maps $T$ on compact metrizable groups. A particular case of this yields the well-known formula for $h(T)$ when $T$ is a toral automorphism.
