By Gregory J. Chaitin
This e-book is the ultimate model of a path on algorithmic details concept and the epistemology of arithmetic and physics. It discusses Einstein and Goedel's perspectives at the nature of arithmetic within the gentle of knowledge concept, and sustains the thesis that arithmetic is quasi-empirical. there's a foreword by means of Cris Calude of the collage of Auckland, and supplementary fabric is out there on the author's website. The unique characteristic of this ebook is that it offers a brand new "hands on" didatic process utilizing LISP and Mathematica software program. The reader may be in a position to derive an realizing of the shut courting among arithmetic and physics. "The Limits of Mathematics is a really own and idiosyncratic account of Greg Chaitin's complete profession in constructing algorithmic details concept. the combo of the edited transcripts of his 3 introductory lectures continues the entire power and content material of the oral shows, whereas the cloth on AIT itself provides a whole clarification of the way to enforce Greg's rules on genuine desktops if you are looking to test their hand at furthering the theory." John Casti, Santa Fe Institute
