Sommario/riassunto

This review volume consists of an indispensable set of chapters written by leading scholars, scientists and researchers in the field of Randomness, including related subfields specially but not limited to the strong developed connections to the Computability and Recursion Theory. Highly respected, indeed renowned in their areas of specialization, many of these contributors are the founders of their fields. The scope of ""Randomness Through Computation"" is novel. Each contributor shares his personal views and anecdotes on the various reasons and motivations which led him to the study of the su
