Art of the Problem | How Machines Generate Random Numbers with Time @ArtOfTheProblem | Uploaded 12 years ago | Updated 11 hours ago
Pseudorandom number generators are explained using John Von Neumann's middle squares method. Machines can't roll dice so they do a trick to generate randomness - they grow randomness. The middle squares method is explained from a computer science perspective using clocks as seeds. This is a clip from Art of the Problem episode #1. This clip features original music from Hannah Addario-Berry
