Synopsis

"Meta Maths" is the story of Chaitin's revolutionary discovery: [OMEGA] is otherwise known as the Omega number. The Omega number is Chaitin's representation of the profound enigma at the heart of maths, which sheds light on the very nature of life itself. Chaitin demonstrates that mathematics is as much art as logic and as much science as pure reasoning. His book is a thrilling journey to the frontiers of mathematics and a celebration of its sheer beauty.

Media Reviews
Meta Maths is truly idiosyncratic. Informal, chatty and cerebral... it mixes mathematics with Chaitin's outlook on life and philosophy... Great fun. -- Alan Cane * Financial Times *
