Proving Darwin: Making Biology Mathematical
Praise for Gregory Chaitin’sMeta Math! “A startling vision of the future of mathematics. . . . The Chaitinesque intellectual future will be eternally youthful and anarchic.”—American Scientist “Math’s dark secret is out . . . Chaitin explains why Omega, a number he discovered thirty years ago, has him convinced that math is based on randomness.”—Time “Is our universe computable? Is mathematics inevitable? Chaitin and I have been discussing these kinds of questions for a very long time, and it’s great to see him explain his point of view on them so passionately here.”—Stephen Wolfram, creator ofMathematicaand author ofA New Kind of Science “A clearly written and witty look at a difficult subject. . . . Chaitin explains with infectious enthusiasm how mathematics doesn’t equal certainty.”—Science News"Captivating . . . With extraordinary skill and a gentle humor, Chaitin shares his profound insights."—Paul Davies, author ofHow to Build a Time Machine
