Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays

Résumé du livre

"In this first part, Games in General, the theories and techniques for analysing games are described, while in the second volume, Games in Particular, there is a dazzling presentation of the examples: any game which presents an opportunity for witty and original comment has been included. The analyses start with basic theory using simple examples, but progress to detailed case-studies of well-known games ranging from the elementary to the elaborate and including Tic-Tac-Toe, Dots-and-Boxes, Hackenbush, Peg Solitaire and the maddening Hungarian cube puzzle."--from the back cover.
