The Unknowable (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science)

Ebook Download | The Unknowable (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science) | Chaitin is not a modest writer, but then given his personal contribution to the field he discusses here, there's no reason why he should be. This book is not an easy read for the layperson (I know, I am one) but does reward perseverance. The beauty of "The Unknowable" is that it allows the reader to understand the points Chaitin makes by working through the important proofs by famous thinkers such as Godel and Turing (and ,of course, Chaitin). It's a great feeling to walk in the footsteps of giants such as these - and to understand the conlusions rather than accept them as received wisdom. My only reservation is that the chapter introducing the reader to LISP is fairly dense and tough to follow. However I found that reading the first couple of chapters of Friedman and Felleisen's "Little LISPer" made it more comprehensible - and LL is a great book anyway. I'd thoroughly recommend this book to readers with an interest in the Philosophy of Mathematics who do not necessarily have an in-depth mathematical background.
