Or do we? Randomness turns out to be one of those concepts that works just fine on an everyday level, but becomes muddled upon close inspection. People familiar with quantum indeterminacy tell us that order is an illusion and that the world is fundamentally random. Yet these same people also say that randomness is an illusion: The appearance of randomness is only a sign of our ignorance and inability to detect the pattern..By applying mathematical thinking, mathematician Edward Beltrami removes much of the vagueness that encumbers the concept of randomness. You will discover how to quantify what would otherwise remain elusive. As the book progresses, you will see how mathematics provides a framework for unifying how chance is interpreted across diverse disciplines. Communication engineering, computer science, philosophy, physics, and psychology join mathematics in the discourse to illuminate different facets of the same idea...Thisbook will provoke, entertain, and inform by challenging your ideas about randomness, providing different interpretations of what this concept means, and showing how order and randomness are really two sides of the same mys | | 出版日期 | Book 2020Latest edition | | 关键词 | Randomness math; Randomness and probability; Chance mathematics; Random probability; Uncertainty math; La | | 版次 | 2 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-0799-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-0716-0798-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-0716-0799-2 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 |
