The revolutions that Gregory Chaitin brought within the fields of
science are well known. From his discovery of algorithmic
information complexity to his work on Goedel's theorem, he has
contributed deeply and expansively to such diverse fields.This book
attempts to bring together a collection of articles written by his
colleagues, collaborators and friends to celebrate his work in a
festschrift. It encompasses various aspects of the scientific work
that Chaitin has accomplished over the years. Topics range from
philosophy to biology, from foundations of mathematics to physics,
from logic to computer science, and all other areas Chaitin has
worked on.It also includes sketches of his personality with the
help of biographical accounts in some unconventional articles that
will provide a rare glimpse into the personal life and nature of
Chaitin.Compared to the other books that exist along a similar
vein, this book stands out primarily due to its highly
interdisciplinary nature and its scope that will attract readers
into Chaitin's world.
