Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays: Volume 1 (AK Peters/CRC Recreational Mathematics Series)

Математические игры , том 1.Почти четверть века назад, три математика создали первуюкнигу по математическим играмТеперь, эта классическая книга математики ,переиздаётся в полностью исправленном варианте.В 1 томе, авторы представляют теории и методы, чтобы анализировать игры различных структур и форматов, и выбрать выигрышные стратегии. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, three mathematicians created the first and definitive book on mathematical games. Now, this classic is being republished in a completely revised edition, broken down into four volumes to accommodate new developments and to reorganize the material in the most accessible way. In Volume 1, the authors present theories and techniques to dissect games of varied structures and formats in order to develop winning strategies. The irreverent yet highly effective style of the book, as reflected in some of the reviews, makes reading a profitable pleasure. The inclusion of many examples helps the reader to put the mathematical analysis to immediate use. This classic on games and how to play them intelligently is being re-issued in a new, four volume edition. This book has laid the foundation to a mathematical approach to playing games. The wise authors wield witty words, which wangle wonderfully winning ways. 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. V. 1.
