In this book we'll use LISP to explore my theory of randomness, called algorithmic information theory (AIT). And when I say \"explore\" I mean it! This book is full of exercises for the reader, ranging from the mathematical equivalent oftrivial \"fin- ger warm-ups\" for pianists, to substantial programming projects, to questions I can formulate precisely but don't know how to answer, to questions that I don't even know how to formulate precisely! I really want you to follow my example and hike offinto the wilder- ness and explore AIT on your own! You can stay on the trails that I've blazed and explore the well-known part of AIT, or you can go off on your own and become a fellow researcher, a colleague of mine! One way or another, the goal of this book is to make you into a participant, not a passive observer of AlT. In other words, it's too easy to just listen to a recording of AIT, that's not the way to learn music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45282129215639,"sku":"9781852334178","price":7277.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781852334178.webp?v=1769301231","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/exploring-randomness-9781852334178","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
