Description for Inevitable Randomness in Discrete Mathematics (University Lecture Series)
Paperback. Mathematics has been called the science of order. This book intends to provide examples - and proofs - of the complexity law: discrete systems are either simple or they exhibit advanced pseudorandomness and a priori probabilities often exist even when there is no intrinsic symmetry. Series: University Lecture Series. Num Pages: 257 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBD; PBH; PBV. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. .
Mathematics has been called the science of order. The subject is remarkably good for generalizing specific cases to create abstract theories. However, mathematics has little to say when faced with highly complex systems, where disorder reigns. This disorder can be found in pure mathematical arenas, such as the distribution of primes, the 3n 1 conjecture, and class field theory. The purpose of this book is to provide examples - and rigorous proofs - of the complexity law: discrete systems are either simple or they exhibit advanced pseudorandomness; a priori probabilities often exist even when there is no intrinsic ...
