Generating Random Numbers with Mathematica

[Nusc]

I am to deliver a 20 minute presentation on how mathematica generates random numbers. While the course documentation provides the read with commands on how to generate them, I'm more concerned with how it actually does it. Would you know where I can find more information about this?

Doesn't Mathematica's help browser have anything to say on the subject?


A little bit of searching digs the link

http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/tutorial/RandomNumberGeneration.html

which looks like an excellent place to start a search.
