RANDOMNESS THROUGH COMPUTATION

“I couldn't put this book down. Its presentation of a computational approach to randomness, with its strong focus on applications, is the best I have read. It is carefully edited and comprises several chapters — most of them are by leading experts, and some are even the founders of their respective fields … I thoroughly enjoyed reading this gem of a book. Its target audience includes post-graduates and researchers in CS, statistics, applied mathematics, and related disciplines. It is surely a must-have book for any scientific library. Apart from research, the book also serves pedagogical and philosophical interests.”

“It is a book aimed at the general scientist/philosopher/mathematically literate reader. You won't learn the precise details of quantum mechanics in this book, but what you will learn is a great deal about current thinking of a collection of leading experts in a broad range of topics in and around randomness. It certainly gave me much food for thought. I certainly found a lot of food for thought here, and regard this as an excellent addition to my library.”
