Résumé

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, but in a more easily accessible format. The authors' insightful strategies, blended with their witty and irreverent style, make reading a profitable pleasure.

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. Their focus is on "adding games," including Nim, Hackenbush, and Kayles. The inclusion of many examples helps the reader to put the mathematical analysis to immediate use.

Whose game ?
Finding the correct number is simplicity itself
Some harder games and how to make them easier
Taking and breaking
Numbers, numbers and numberless wonders
The heat of battle
Hackenbush
It's a small small small small world
