5.0 out of 5 stars
great book,
By skeezer "skeezer" (Salem, Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Games of No Chance (Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Publications) (Paperback)
This book is full of beatiful work. Every section is an investigation into some combinatorial game, or some idea in combinatorial game theory. Most of the material is clearly presented and all should be accessible to undergrads, but be warned: this is not simple stuff. But, as we all know, beautiful mathematics isn't always simple. The book also includes a section with 52 unsolved problems, which should be of considerable interest to the curious.

Fascinating,
By Maurizio De Leo (Milano, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Games of No Chance (Mathematical Sciences Research Institute Publications) (Paperback)
I don't have read all the book, but I read most of the scientific papers it is composed by. I think they are very interesting and puzzling, on the border line between serious mathematics (game theory and all this stuff) and "recreational math" (like the angel problem). It would be a good read also for people interested in computer games.
