DOWNLOAD EBOOKDOTS, LINES AND BOXES is a pencil-and-paper game usually for two players. It was first published in 1889 by French mathematician Édouard Lucas. It has gone by many names including the game of dots, dot to dot grid, boxes, and pigs in a pen. It is a simple game with an objective: the one that "owns" most of the boxes at the end of the game wins. You and your opponent take turns drawing horizontal or vertical lines to connect and close the square boxes. When someone draws a line that completes a square, write your initial inside to win the box. Once all the points have been connected and all the boxes have been closed, you can count the boxes of each player and know the winner. This notebook has 50 pages with templates for building square boxes, 30 pages with templates for triangular boxes and 20 pages with templates for hexagonal boxes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe game of Dots-and-Boxes, the popular game in which two players take turns connecting an array of dots to form squares, or "boxes" has long been considered merely a child's game. In this book, however, the author reveals the surprising complexity of the game, along with advanced strategies that will allow the reader to win at any level of gameplay desired. This book is an essential guide to the game of Dots-and-Boxes and its mathematical underpinnings. Chapters of strategy are interspersed with dozens of sample problems and their solutions. Furthermore, the strategies can be applied to several other games, such as Strings-and-Coins and Nimstring.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis 2003 book provides an analysis of combinatorial games - games not involving chance or hidden information. It contains a fascinating collection of articles by some well-known names in the field, such as Elwyn Berlekamp and John Conway, plus other researchers in mathematics and computer science, together with some top game players. The articles run the gamut from theoretical approaches (infinite games, generalizations of game values, 2-player cellular automata, Alpha-Beta pruning under partial orders) to other games (Amazons, Chomp, Dot-and-Boxes, Go, Chess, Hex). Many of these advances reflect the interplay of the computer science and the mathematics. The book ends with a bibliography by A. Fraenkel and a list of combinatorial game theory problems by R. K. Guy. Like its predecessor, Games of No Chance, this should be on the shelf of all serious combinatorial games enthusiasts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKImagine a public storage system that has a place online for structured data about everything that exists—or that could exist. This book introduces Fluidinfo, a system that enables you to store information about anything, real or imaginary, in any digital form. You’ll learn how to organize and search for data, and decide who can use, modify, and extend what you’ve contributed. This guide demonstrates Fluidinfo’s potential to create social data, with facilities that encourage users and applications to share, remix, and reuse data in ways they may not have anticipated. You’ll learn how to use tools for reading and writing data, and how to use Fluidinfo in your own applications by working with its writable API and simple query language. Read and write Fluidinfo data from web applications—and reuse and build upon each other’s data Discover Fluidinfo’s permissions system for tags and namespaces Learn how to use Fish, the command-line tool for interacting with Fluidinfo data Delve into Fluidinfo’s RESTful API, and learn how to make HTTP requests Use Fluidinfo client libraries to build a simple Python utility or a JavaScript web application

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe book presents 18 games and develops the concepts of game analysis and winning strategies. Students are encouraged to play these mathematical games together, collect data developed through their play, and analyze the data to develop a winning strategy. The book provides the basis for a six- to eight-week unit on mathematical games. Each chapter also functions as a self-contained and independent exploration so that selected chapters may be used as supplementary classroom investigations or as independent projects. The book includes both familiar games (such as Quadrangles and Nim) and many others that will be new and exciting to most readers. Through the exploration of mathematical games, 'The Play's the Thing' introduces teachers and students to the fun of play and to the mathematics behind the fun.
