"On a Roll," by Dana Mackenzie. New Scientist, 6 November 1999, pages 44-47.
Randomness is an important but elusive concept. Because random numbers exhibit no special patterns (otherwise they would not be random), mathematicians have found it difficult to say much about them. This article discusses research that brings new clarity to the nature of random numbers. The research could have an impact on computer programming problems that involve random numbers.
