Description for Combinatorial Games (Proceedings of Symposia in Applied Mathematics)
Paperback. Contrasts combinatorial games, which have complete information and no chance moves, with those of classical game theory. This book introduces a theory of numbers, including infinitesimals and transfinite numbers, which has emerged as a special case of the theory of games. It also describes impartial games. Series: Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics. Num Pages: 233 pages. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 251 x 177 x 14. Weight in Grams: 442.
Based on lectures presented at the AMS Short Course on Combinatorial Games, held at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Columbus in August 1990, the ten papers in this volume will provide readers with insight into this exciting field. Because the book requires very little background, it will likely find a wide audience that includes the amateur interested in playing games, the undergraduate looking for a new area of study, instructors seeking a refreshing area in which to give new courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and graduate students looking for a variety of research topics.In the opening paper, ...
