Conversations with a Mathematician

Conversations with a Mathematician, CIENCIAS EXATAS, Springer Nature B.V.

Sinopse

The author, G. J. Chaitin, shows that God plays dice not only in quantum mechanics but also in the foundations of mathematics. According to Chaitin there exist mathematical facts that are true for no reason. This
fascinating and provocative text contains a collection of his most wide-ranging and non-technical lectures and interviews. It will be of interest to anyone concerned with the philosophy of mathematics, the similarities and
differences between physics and mathematics, and mathematics as art.
