Elwyn R Berlekamp Books
Elwyn Ralph Berlekamp was a professor emeritus of mathematics and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He was renowned for his significant contributions to information theory and combinatorial game theory. His groundbreaking work has had a lasting impact on various fields, including theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence, shaping the landscape of mathematical and computational research.
This classic on games and how to play them intelligently is being re-issued in a new, four volume edition. This book has laid the foundation to a mathematical approach to playing games. The wise authors wield witty words, which wangle wonderfully winning ways. 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.
