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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781447110859\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447110859\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-0307-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 164\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44341250031756,"sku":"9781447110859","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447110859.jpg?v=1755041311","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781447110859","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
