Autorenporträt
Elwyn Berlekamp was born in Dover, Ohio, on September 6, 1940. He has been Professor of Mathematics and of Electrical Engineering/Computer Science at UC Berkeley since 1971. He has also been active in several technology business ventures. In addition to writing many journal articles and several books, Berlekamp also has 12 patented inventions, mostly dealing with algorithms for synchronization and error correction. John H. Conway was born in Liverpool, England, on December 26, 1937. He is one of the preeminent theorists in the study of finite groups and the mathematical study of knots, and has written over 10 books and more than 140 journal articles. Richard Guy was born in Nuneaton, England, on September 30, 1916. He has taught mathematics at many levels and in many places- England, Singapore, India, and Canada. Since 1965 he has been Professor of Mathematics at the University of Calgary, and is now Faculty Professor and Emeritus Professor. The university awarded him an Honorary Degree in 1991. He was Noyce Professor at Grinnell College in 2000.
Rezensionen
" Second editions often pose a problem: are they new enough, different enough, to be worth getting even if one already owns the original edition? ... Winning Ways is still valuable, and it is just as much fun today as it was 21 years ago. -Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MAA Online, October 2003
The tone throughout is deceptively light (and relentlessly punning!), but almost every paragraph represents the distillation of an extensive exploration of the game under discussion... -Nick Lord, The Mathematical Gazette, March 2005
""The book is full of pictures and diagrams, which makes the reading of the book quite comfortable."" -EMS Newsletter, June 2005
""Winning Ways is an absolute must have for those who are interested in mathematical game theory. It is sure to please any fan of recreational mathematics or simply anyone who is interested in games and how to play them well."" -Jacob McMillen, Math Horizons, November 2005"
