About this title

Synopsis:

Book by Chaitin, Gregory J.

Review:

"...a very personal and idiosyncratic account of Greg Chaitins entire career in developing algorithmic information theory. The combination of the edited transcripts of his three introductory lectures maintains all the energy and content of the oral presentations, while the material on AIT itself gives a full explanation of how to implement Gregs ideas on real computers ..."
