Random Numbers and Computers

This book covers pseudorandom number generation algorithms, evaluation techniques, and offers practical advice and code examples. Random Numbers and Computers is an essential introduction or refresher on pseudorandom numbers in computer science.

 The first comprehensive book on the topic, readers are provided with a practical introduction to the techniques of pseudorandom number generation, including how the algorithms work and how to test the output to decide if it is suitable for a particular purpose.  

 Practical applications are demonstrated with hands-on presentation and descriptions that readers can apply directly to their own work. Examples are in C and Python and given with an emphasis on understanding the algorithms to the point of practical application. The examples are meant to be implemented, experimented with and improved/adapted by the reader. 

本書涵蓋了偽隨機數生成算法、評估技術，並提供實用的建議和程式碼示例。《隨機數與電腦》是計算機科學中關於偽隨機數的基本介紹或複習。

作為該主題的首部綜合性著作，本書為讀者提供了對偽隨機數生成技術的實用介紹，包括算法的工作原理以及如何測試輸出以判斷其是否適合特定目的。

書中通過實際案例演示了實用應用，並提供了讀者可以直接應用於自己工作的描述和實作。示例程式碼使用C和Python編寫，並強調理解算法以實際應用為目標。這些示例旨在讓讀者實施、實驗和改進/適應。
