The Limits of Mathematics : A Course on Information Theory and the Limits of Formal Reasoning (Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science) (Reprint)

As a teenager, Greg created independently of Kolmogorov and Solomonoff, what we call today algorithmic information theory, a sub­ ject of which he is the main architect. My favorite portrait of Greg can be found in John Horgan's-a writer for Scientific American-1996 book The End 01 Science. Ladies and Gentlemen, Greg Chaitin!
