In computers or to be more specific programming, I can call for a "random" function which generates "random" numbers. How does it do this? Is there a mathematical function that produces eratic and almost seemingly "random" numbers?
Thanks

You may be looking for a pseudo-random number generator. In essence, it starts with some deterministic value (a seed), does some computations on it, and gets some seemingly random output.
