Random Numbers

Here is information about Random Number's and a list of Random Number Generators:

Learn about Random Number on Wikipedia.

HotBits: Genuine Random Numbers - this article states that there random numbers can not be generated by a computer because the numbers are generated from an algorithm that has deterministic results. Genuine random numbers can be generated by a computer being hooked up to a "Geiger-Müller tube interfaced to a computer". That produces natural radioactive decay that is genuinely random.

Boost Random Number Library - this is a library for C++ to generate random and pseudo-random numbers.

Random Number on Wolfram Mathworld.

Pseudo Random Number Generators - uniform and non-uniform distributions. These are available in C++ and binary.

Python Library Reference - Generate Pseudo-random Numbers.

A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates.

Random Number Generators in JavaScript - this tool can be used right in the browser. A more advanced package can also be downloaded.
