Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays, Volume 3

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 Winning Ways for Your Mathematical Plays, Volume 3, the authors examine Games played in Clubs, giving case studies for coin and paper-and-pencil games, such as Dots- and-Boxes and Nimstring.
