Games and Mathematics: Subtle Connections
David Wells
A fascinating and entertaining tour of the connections, old and new, between mathematics and games. Rules, tactics and strategy of familiar games such as chess are all considered with a mathematical eye. The author then turns this around and shows how game playing can inform the thinking of mathematicians themselves.
