PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island, March 4 (TNSOps) -- Brown University issued the following news release:
Mathematics is a field of proofs and axioms, iron-clad truths that reveal the order underlying the world. In that context, randomness -- a state of apparent patternlessness and unpredictability -- would seem to exist largely as something to be stamped out or explained away.
But to Kavita Ramanan, a professor of applied mathematics at Brown and an expert in probability theor . . .
