More copies of this ISBN:This title in other formats:Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays: Volume 1, 2nd Editionby Elwyn R Berlekamp
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In the quarter of a century since three mathematicians and game theorists collaborated to create Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays, the book has become the definitive work on the subject of mathematical games. Now carefully revised and broken down into four volumes to accommodate new developments, the Second Edition retains the original's wealth of wit and wisdom. The authors' insightful strategies, blended with their witty and irreverent style, make reading a profitable pleasure.
In Volume 1, the authors do the Spade Work, presenting theories and techniques to "dissect" games of varied structures and formats in order to develop winning strategies. Book News Annotation:In this updated contribution to recreational math—the first of
four planned volumes, Berlekamp (mathematics, electrical
engineering/computer science, U. of California, Berkeley) and his
merry math pranksters share combinatorics theory-based games and
strategies to make such brainy games easier. Some color graphics
enliven the many examples of such pastimes as Hackenbush, Toad vs.
Frog, and Eatcake. Co-author Conway (mathematics, Princeton U.)
invented the Game of Life computer simulation. Originally published
25 years ago.
