商品描述

The revolutions that Gregory Chaitin brought within the fields of science are well known. From his discovery of algorithmic information complexity to his work on G del's theorem, he has contributed deeply and expansively to such diverse fields.This book attempts to bring together a collection of articles written by his colleagues, collaborators and friends to celebrate his work in a festschrift. It encompasses various aspects of the scientific work that Chaitin has accomplished over the years. Topics range from philosophy to biology, from foundations of mathematics to physics, from logic to computer science, and all other areas Chaitin has worked on.It also includes sketches of his personality with the help of biographical accounts in some unconventional articles that will provide a rare glimpse into the personal life and nature of Chaitin.Compared to the other books that exist along a similar vein, this book stands out primarily due to its highly interdisciplinary nature and its scope that will attract readers into Chaitin's world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

格雷戈里·蔡廷(Gregory Chaitin)在科學領域所帶來的革命是眾所周知的。從他對算法信息複雜性的發現到他對哥德爾定理(Gödel's theorem)的研究,他在如此多樣的領域中做出了深遠而廣泛的貢獻。本書試圖匯集他的同事、合作者和朋友所撰寫的一系列文章,以慶祝他的成就,作為一部紀念文集。它涵蓋了蔡廷多年來所完成的科學工作的各個方面。主題範圍從哲學到生物學,從數學基礎到物理學,從邏輯到計算機科學,以及蔡廷所涉獵的所有其他領域。它還包括一些非傳統文章中的傳記敘述,幫助勾勒出他的個性,提供了對蔡廷個人生活和本質的罕見一瞥。與其他類似主題的書籍相比,本書的突出之處在於其高度的跨學科特性和吸引讀者進入蔡廷世界的廣泛範疇。
