This book aims to educate the practitioner on pseudo-randomness in particular and discusses a few modern algorithms for random number generation. We attempt to describe what it means for a phenomenon to be random, discuss an approach to quantifying the amount of randomness and testing for statistical quality. A software testing suite is introduced to measure the performance and quality of arbitrary pseudo-random number generators, which are implemented in the V programming language.
