Description for The Limits of Mathematics. A Course on Information Theory and the Limits of Formal Reasoning.
Hardback. This text contains transcripts of three lectures given by Gregory Chaitin on the limits of mathematics, with examples of LISP code and Mathematica code for the LISP interpreter. The lectures form a "hands on" computer course but can also be read theoretically without running the LISP interpreter. Series: Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science. Num Pages: 150 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBCD; UMB; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 11. Weight in Grams: 400.
As a teenager, Greg created independently of Kolmogorov and Solomonoff, what we call today algorithmic information theory, a sub ject of which he is the main architect. His 1965 paper on gedanken experiments on automata, which he wrote when he was in high school, is still of interest today. He was also heavily involved in IBM, where he has worked for almost thirty years, on the development of RISC technology. Greg's results are widely quoted. My favorite portrait of Greg can be found in John Horgan's-a writer for Scientific American-1996 book The End 01 Science. Greg has gotten many honors. ... Read more
