�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

How does a computer scientist understand infinity? What can probability theory teach us about free will? Can mathematical notions be used to, enhance one's personal understanding of the Bible? Things a Computer Scientist Rarely Talks About is the most readable, intriguing approach yet to this crucial topic. It is, quite simply, required reading, both for those who are serious - yet curious - about their faiths, and for those who look at the science of computation and wonder what it might teach them about their spiritual world.
