Random Numbers - How Can We Create Randomness in Computers?
2011
Can a computer toss a coin? Generating random numbers or random events by tossing a coin or throwing a die is obviously not possible in a programmed algorithm. On the other hand, can random behavior be programmed? Is it possible to create randomness using algorithms? In this chapter the authors consider well-known, approved procedures used in random-number generators.
