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.
