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 …

Leonhard Euler's polyhedron formula describes the structure of many objects--from soccer
balls and gemstones to Buckminster Fuller's buildings and giant all-carbon molecules. Yet …

Finding an equilibrium of an extensive form game of imperfect information is a fundamental
problem in computational game theory, but current techniques do not scale to large games …

Roughly speaking, the family of combinatorial games consists of two-player games with
perfect information (no hidden information as in some card games), no chance moves (no …

The rising tide of threats, from financial cybercrime to asymmetric military conflicts, demands
greater sophistication in tools and techniques of law enforcement, commercial and domestic …

A multifaceted biography of a brilliant mathematician and iconoclast A mathematician unlike
any other, John Horton Conway (1937–2020) possessed a rock star's charisma, a …

Back in 1988, the partial game trees explored by computer chess programs were among the
largest search structures in real-world computing. Because the game tree is too large to be …
