1THE NATURE OF RANDOMNESS
Random processes power the systems we’ll develop later in this book. This chapter introduces specific random processes, from those that are truly random to those that are deterministic but still random enough to use—that is, pseudorandom and quasirandom processes.
We’ll begin with a brief discussion of the relationship between probability and randomness. After learning how to determine whether a process is random, we’ll explore truly random processes, meaning processes strongly influenced by true randomness. We’ll also learn the difference between pseudorandom and quasirandom processes. Finally, we’ll use Python to create ...
