Return to computer science

During my early high school days I was very much enthusiastic in Computer.But near the end of the school I became interested in Physics and Mathematics.But in last few months I am becoming interested in Computer Science again.That is principally due to reading Chaitin's works.His home page is: www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~chaitin/

Chaitin's brand new idea Algorithmic Information Theory (AIT) is subtle! This introduces a way to measure the computational complexity of something. It is denoted as H(X); which means the bits of information to build something X.

His lecture on the debate of foundation of mathematics is clever but easy to understand.
