Randomness Through Computation: Some Answers, More Questions (Hardcover)

This review volume consists of a set of chapters written by leading scholars, most of them founders of their fields.

The contributors cover these topics without neglecting important philosophical dimensions, sometimes going beyond the purely technical to formulate age old questions relating to matters such as determinism and free will.The scope of Randomness Through Computation is novel. Each contributor shares their personal views and anecdotes on the various reasons and motivations which led them to the study of Randomness. Using a question and answer format, they share their visions from their several distinctive vantage points.
