Gates to the new city Book

This was a much denser volume than the first volume. To say that it went over my head in many parts would be an understatement. It is interesting to see the points for where highly computationally intensive applications will have to be concerned.

The first half is a good warning to consider before you try and do anything "random." It actually begins with simple tests that are very intuitive to determine how random a series is and builds up to some fairly comprehensive tests.

Interestingly, the intro to the second half is just plain fun for a brief history of arithmetic. To the point that you will feel like such a "simple" discipline will seem almost alien. Very impressive.

At any rate, I do plan on revisiting sections later. Not sure I will make a ton more progress, but you won't know till you try. And many of these topics are more reachable once you missed them the first twenty times. :)
