Metamaths by Gregory Chaitin
Now in paperback: one of the world's greatest mathematicians explains his revolutionary hypothesis about the enigma at the heart of maths: omega (?). 'Chaitin comes across as a kind of mathematical Richard Feynman, intuitive and high-spirited, irreverent and plain-spoken.' Peter Pesic, TLS
Meta Maths is truly idiosyncraticInformal, chatty and cerebral... it mixes mathematics with Chaitin's outlook on life and philosophy... Great fun. -- Alan Cane * Financial Times *
Gregory Chaitin works at New York IBM Watson Research Centre, and is a visiting professor in computer science at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He has written eight previous books on maths including Exploring Randomness and The Unknowable.
