When properly applied, randomness can be a powerful tool in
programming, science, and art. This highly practical but geekily
fun introduction to randomness shows you how to put chaos to work,
illustrating its ability to power everything from the simulation of
Darwinian evolution, to product placement in a grocery store, to
hiding information in plain sight, and even how to generate art and
music. By encouraging you to engage in 'what if' speculation,
you'll build intuition about when and how to use randomness to get
things done. Each chapter describes how randomness plays into the
given topic area, then proceeds to demonstrate its problem-solving
role with hands-on experiments to work through using Python code.
By the end of the book, you'll see why randomness belongs in every
programmer's toolbox. Explore the mathematical background of
randomness; Use randomness for encrypting messages, creating
models, and implementing swarm-intelligence or machine-learning
algorithms; Discover how
