En 'Al Azar', Ivar Ekeland explora la naturaleza del azar y la probabilidad, entrelazando conceptos científicos y filosóficos. El autor examina cómo el azar influye en nuestra comprensión del mundo y cómo la ciencia intenta modelar y predecir fenómenos aleatorios. A través de ejemplos y reflexiones, Ekeland invita a la reflexión sobre la presencia del azar en la vida cotidiana y en los grandes eventos que moldean la historia.
Ivar I. Ekeland is a French mathematician of Norwegian descent. Ekeland has written influential monographs and textbooks on nonlinear functional analysis, the calculus of variations, and mathematical economics, as well as popular books on mathematics, which have been published in French, English, and other languages. Ekeland is known as the author of Ekeland's variational principle and for his use of the Shapley–Folkman lemma in optimization theory. He has contributed to the periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems and particularly to the theory of Kreĭn indices for linear systems. Ekeland is cited in the credits of Steven Spielberg's 1993 movie Jurassic Park as an inspiration of the fictional chaos theory specialist Ian Malcolm appearing in Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park.
