    Abstract
    This book is the final version of a course on algorithmic information theory and the epistemology of mathematics and physics. It discusses Einstein and Gödel views of the nature of mathematics in the light of information theory, and sustains the thesis that mathematics is quasi-empirical. There is a foreword by Cris Calude of the University of Auckland, and supplementary material is available at the autor web site
