{"product_id":"what-is-random-edward-beltrami-9781461271567","title":"What Is Random?: Chance and Order in Mathematics and Life","description":"Order is an illusion, the quantum theorists tell us; at bottom the world is ruled by quantum indeterminacy. Yet randomness is also an illusion: the appearance of randomness is only a sign of ignorance, of our inability to detect the pattern. Does randomness really exist? In this wonderfully thought-provoking little book, mathematician Ed Beltrami shows how order and randomness are really two sides of the same mysterious coin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Beltrami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461271568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461271567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copernicus Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Edward Beltrami","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066412691711,"sku":"9781461271567","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89d7772c-7ed1-4a30-b406-f2d8928f7510.jpg?v=1685407118","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-random-edward-beltrami-9781461271567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
